Rappel Maui Waterfalls and Rainforest Cliffs
Overview

Mobile ticket
Imagine rappelling down waterfalls in a private rainforest valley on the famed Road to Hana. What's rappelling? It's a popular adventure/gravity sport that includes a descent from a cliff or wall using anchored ropes. Under supervision and instruction from expert guides, you’ll use professional equipment to descend into nature in the Maui location featured in the movie Jurassic Park. Great for active families, couples, groups and solo travelers with an appreciation for dynamic outdoor excursions. Minimum age of 10; minimum weight of 70 lbs., maximum weight of 250 lbs., and waist measurement between 22 and 48 inches. All gear (including shoes) provided. RAIN or SHINE: We go to the rainforest. Waterfalls are naturally occurring phenomena changing rapidly at any time. When the streams flood due to rain and the falls are roaring or swollen, and we cannot safely rappel one or both waterfalls, we rappel 40- to 115-foot drops from jungle cliffsides at a safe distance from the water course.

What To Expect
You'll cruise down the jungle cliffs and waterfalls of a private rainforest canyon using an anchored rope system, hike through streams and on natural trails, and swim in natural freshwater pools. RAIN or SHINE: We go to the rainforest. Weather and waterfalls are naturally occurring phenomena; both can change rapidly at any time. When the streams flood due to rain, the falls are roaring or swollen, and the valley is alive with high or swift water activity. If we cannot safely rappel one or both waterfalls on such days, we do 40- to 115-foot drops from jungle cliffsides at a safe distance from the water course. Please note that it rains at least a part of every day in the rainforest.

5.00This tour was sooo epic! It was the perfect way to start our adventure drive to Hana. It was the perfect amount of thrill. Not too scary but enough to push you out of your comfort zone and get your heart pumping. The guides were awesome! They made us feel safe and comfortable. Thank you Deacon and Elena! Swimming in the pool at the end with the waterfall was incredible. One for the books!

5.00We LOVED Rappel Maui! Our concierge recommended them and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip. We had a group of five (parents in our late 40s + kids ages 23, 19, and 17) and every single one of us was entertained, challenged, and had a blast. The guides were hilarious and amazing at keeping everyone engaged and comfortable the entire time. All three of our kids said they’d rather do this again than whale watching or snorkeling so that says it all. Huge thanks to Alba and Shauna!
The best waterfall repel ever

5.00My family of 5 had an Exhilarating fun-filled day at the waterfalls with our friendly, competent, personable guides , Deacon and Taylor!! From the very beginning they made us feel at home, comfortable and safe under their care. They were experts at giving clear instructions to ensure we remained injury free at the cliff edges. Thank you Taylor for cheering all of us on! Thank you Deacon for the peeled tangerines and for finding back my brother’s pants!
Start your day with a little adrenaline!

5.00Shauna and Alba were fabulous guides. Their calm and easy-going approach put everyone at ease. They were thoughtful about verifying all of the safety equipment while still empowering my kids to do everything on their own and quietly correcting them or making adjustments. My kids (17, 14, 11) all left feeling confident and exhilarated from their experience.
Best experience in Maui - ask for Shauna and Taylor

5.00Taylor and Shauna were the BEST! They were so fun and funny and the ultimate hype women - while also keeping us safe and making us feel supported the whole journey. There’s something for every experience level - whether you’re my fiance and half running down the waterfall, or me inching down :) thank you ladies for an unforgettable experience! xo Beavis and Buttead
Just do it

5.00Elena and Deacon are kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and amazing at what they do (hint: beyond rappelling, you might just get to eat some fruits in the wild). I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, although scary, was totally worth it. Also loved the group I met during the experience (:
