If you’re dreaming of an unforgettable adventure deep into Maui’s lush rainforests, cascading waterfalls, and hidden jungle pools just for your group, Hike Maui’s Waterfall & Rainforest Hike Private Tour is one of the most rewarding ways to experience paradise your way.

Guide and Guests

Why Choose a Private Hike?

Unlike group tours, a private hiking experience with Hike Maui means:

  • Personalized pacing & itinerary — linger by the waterfall that captures your heart or pause to identify that plant your kids just spotted.
  • Flexible start times to fit your vacation rhythm.
  • Exclusive transportation — your group travels together in a spacious Ford Transit van with door‑to‑door pickup and drop‑off.

This tailored approach is perfect if you’re celebrating a special occasion, traveling with multigenerational family, or just want the freedom to make the adventure truly yours. (Hike Maui Private Tour)

Pricing Overview

  • From $1799 per group
    – This covers your entire private group for the duration of the hike (typically 6+)

💡 Note: Unlike per‑person group tours, private hikes are priced by the group — meaning the more people in your party (up to the van capacity), the better the value per person.

The hike itself usually lasts about 5 hours and covers approximately 2.5 miles of easy‑to‑moderate terrain through tropical rainforest and waterfall vistas. (Hike Maui)
