Highlights
  • Waihee Ridge Trail - We will do a 2-4 mile Out & Back hike that lasts approximately 2-3 hours. The entire trail is 4 Miles total (2 Miles up and 2 Miles Down), but depending on your fitness level we can turn around halfway at the first view point if you desire. We will start at 7AM, and meet at the top parking lot about a mile past the entry gate.

Driving Times (Approx.)

  • 45 Mins from Wailea
  • 1 Hour from Lahaina

I can take pictures of you and your group and share at the end of the hike for no extra cost.

If it is your first time to Maui I could happily answer any questions you have, and give you local recommendations of favorite places to visit, restaurants to dine at, or a favorite bar.

We can chat as we hike along, or I can guide you along the trail and we can just enjoy the natural surroundings and sounds of nature. I would love to share my regional knowledge about Maui, and what we are seeing on the trails.

Other things to note: This region of the island typically has very clear weather early in the morning, but we do get early clouds from time to time on ridge. Also, the trail could possibly be quite muddy and slick from rain the previous day towards the top.

What's Included
  • Complimentary bottled water

Go! - Fantastic guide - I have a severe fear of heights and would not have made this trip without the very suttle support from Andrew. He is able to adjust the experience to the audience. Besides that, it is a beautiful hike in an amazing scenary. You can do it on your own, I would book Andrew anytime again and definitely recommend doing that - it gives you the full experience as he also knows about the surroundings and can give you information along the way

Amazing Experience!! - My husband and I came to Maui for our honeymoon and really wanted to go on a hike and this one was absolutely perfect! Andrew was an amazing guide. The views were spectacular!! Andrew even gave us recommendations for more things to do around this island. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to be active (the earlier the better) and learn more about Maui!

Beautiful view and helpful overview of Maui! - My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful hike/journey up to the top of the Waihee Ridge in Maui. The views were spectacular on the day we went, and Andrew was extremely helpful, not only by providing lots of relevant information about the area's history, but also with great suggestions for other, less known places to visit and things to do while visiting here. We loved all the different micro-climates and changing environments on the hike up, and just couldn't get enough of the spectacular views. Andrew graciously adapted to our slower pace, and gave us useful tips for safely traversing any steep or slick areas along the 4 mile hike. He has an amazing amount of experience with travel and hiking, and we felt this was one of our favorite adventures so far in Maui. Definitely good value for this adventure!

Amazing Hike! - Andrew led us on the Waihee Ridge Hike and it was great. He is super friendly, passionate and knowledgeable about the area. The weather at the start was cloudy and a bit drizzly but our three teenagers still had a fun time and as the weather cleared, the views became more beautiful. Definitely take the opportunity hike with Andrew and see this another side of Maui!

Amazing views by an experienced & friendly guide - This hike provided outstanding views and a friendly & knowledgeable guide who adjusted the hike to our abilities. We are not fitness pros, but were able to hike to incredible viewing spots. Andy is an experienced guide and shared his love for and knowledge of Maui even beyond the hike. He was focused on us enjoying this tour and getting the most out of our trip overall. We highly recommend this tour!!
