Highlights
  • 10600 Hana Hwy - Embark on an adventure through the lush private canyon of a rainforest, navigating down cliffs and cascades with a secure rope system. Trek across stream-fed paths and natural terrain, and take a dip in the pristine freshwater basins. Come rain or shine, the journey into the rainforest is a constant. The weather and waterfalls are dynamic natural elements that can shift quickly without notice. In the event of flooding from rainfall, when waterfalls become thunderous or engorged, and the valley buzzes with intense or rapid water movement, rappelling directly down the waterfalls may not be safe. On such occasions, we opt for 40- to 115-foot descents from the jungle’s edge, maintaining a safe distance from the active waterways. Be aware that rainfall is a daily occurrence in the rainforest.

Additional Information

Envision yourself descending waterfalls in a secluded valley in the renowned Road to Hana rainforest. Rappelling, a widely enjoyed adventure and gravity sport, involves descending from a steep incline or wall using secure ropes. With direction and supervision from skilled instructors, you’ll utilize professional gear to venture into the wild of Maui, a location portrayed in the film, Jurassic Park. This activity is perfect for active families, couples, groups, and individual adventurers who enjoy thrilling outdoor activities. Participants need to be at least 10 years old, weigh between 70 and 250 lbs., and have a waist size from 22 to 48 inches. All equipment, including shoes, is provided. Regardless of the weather, we venture to the rainforest. Quick changes can occur with naturally forming waterfalls, especially during precipitation. In the scenario where streams are swollen due to heavy rain and the waterfalls become intense or roaring, we shift to rappelling 40- to 115-foot descents from jungle cliffs, maintaining a safe distance from the waterflow.

Breathtaking - Repelling off the waterfall was more fun than expected. The instructors break everything down for you so by the last time it is easy.

A MUST DO! - If you do one excursion your whole trip do this one! In the words of my 17 year old son… very cool, great staff, amazing views, a must do. Naomi and Jonas made us feel comfortable and welcome from the moment we arrived. We were well informed every step of the way and positively encouraged. They asked questions to learn about who we are and also allowed us to learn about them and their lives here on the island. Honestly the best money spent on the island. Thank you, Naomi and Jonas

Best excursion ever!!!! - Rappel Maui was a fantastic experience for myself, my wife and my 2 teenage sons, 13 and 15. We were all excited and a bit nervous because we had never done any rappelling before. Our guides, Naomi and Shauna were hilarious. They made us feel safe as they explained everything and made sure we were safe at all times. Rappel Maui is the best excursion/activity that my family has ever done. It was crazy. We were all exhilarated. The scenery was amazing and the 2 waterfalls were simply beautiful. My kids were focused and engaged the entire time. The experience brought our family closer together. If your group can handle some physical activity, then you should check this out. It was awesome.

Outstanding experience - We travelled with 4 teenage kids and had a fantastic time. The Rappelling experience was recommended by friends who suggested it was their favourite excursion on the Island on their prior trip and we agree. Highly recommended. No prior experience required.
