4.Ultimate Hana Full-Day Adventure Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 51 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $292

Ride Maui’s famous Hana Highway with a local guide, then hike through bamboo groves, streams, and waterfalls near the Seven Sacred Pools. Enrique, Jeremy, and Aaron have led this trip, which includes snacks, a deli lunch, and groups of no more than eight.

“Beautiful hike - worth it after the loooonnnnng drive to Hana - much better to have the guide drive and provide narrative (in our case, Enrique, who was very knowledgeable about the history and flora/fauna of Maui). Also some lovely stops along the way. The hike itself is not that challenging, except for the huge numbers of roots one has to attend to so as to not trip. Recommended to wear at least good traction sneakers, if not hiking shoes. Bamboo forest sounds amazing. Waterfalls are beautiful.”
