Maui offers some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world, from lush rainforests and towering waterfalls to volcanic craters and rugged coastlines. With Hike Maui, you can experience many of these wonders up close on several of our tours. Whether you’re looking for a casual stroll or an adventurous trek, our tours will take you to some of the islandโs most scenic and unforgettable spots. Here are the top 5 must-see views you can explore with us or on your own.
1. Waiheโe Ridge Trail
While we donโt guide hikes on the Waiheโe Ridge Trail, itโs a must-mention for anyone seeking epic views of Mauiโs northwestern coast and the lush West Maui Mountains. As you ascend, you’ll be treated to panoramic vistas of Waiheโe Valley, rolling hills, and the dramatic coastline stretching out to the Pacific Ocean. The hike culminates in a breathtaking overlook of the island, making the effort well worth it. This trail offers both a challenging workout and an awe-inspiring reward, making it perfect for those wanting to fully immerse themselves in Maui’s natural beauty.
2. Waimoku Falls
Waimoku Falls is the crown jewel of our Ultimate Hana Full-day Adventure and one of Mauiโs most spectacular sights. Towering at 400 feet, this breathtaking waterfall cascades down a sheer rock face in the midst of the island’s lush rainforest. The hike to Waimoku Falls takes you along the Pipiwai Trail, through a beautiful bamboo forest, and offers glimpses of smaller waterfalls along the way. Reaching Waimoku Falls feels like stepping into a hidden paradiseโa must-see for any hiker on Maui.
3. Hoโokipa Lookout
Located on the North Shore, Hoโokipa Lookout offers sweeping ocean views and a front-row seat to Mauiโs famous surf culture. From this vantage point, you can watch surfers ride the waves and, if youโre lucky, spot Hawaiian green sea turtles basking on the shoreline. The contrast between the deep blue waters and the rugged coastline creates a truly memorable scene. Our Paia Town & Waterfall Hike includes a visit to Hoโokipa, where you can take in the beauty of Mauiโs coastline and the energy of the ocean.
4. Hana Coastline
The legendary Hana coastline is one of the most scenic drives in the world, and our Ultimate Hana Full-day Adventure again offers access to some of its most stunning views. Towering cliffs, black sand beaches, and lava rock formations dot the coastline, creating a dramatic backdrop for your hike. As you make your way along the trail, you’ll see the wild beauty of Maui’s east side, with its lush vegetation and the vibrant blue waters of the Pacific. This unforgettable coastline view is a highlight of any trip to Hana.
5. Haleakalฤ Crater
The otherworldly landscape of Haleakalฤ Crater is a sight like no other. Standing at the summit of this dormant volcano, you’ll be greeted by a vast, colorful expanse of volcanic terrain, with reds, oranges, and purples painting the landscape. On a clear day, you can see the Big Island in the distance, and at sunrise, the crater glows in ethereal light. Our Haleakalฤ Crater Hiking Experience offers a chance to witness the majesty of the crater firsthand and explore the unique flora and fauna that thrive in this high-altitude environment.
