About the Rappel Maui Tour
What is rappelling? It's a practice used in the outdoor adventure sport of canyoning to explore vertical terrain using fixed or anchored ropes and other equipment. It's often used by climbers looking for a quick and safe way to descend a route. We've modified the sport to make an exciting and eco-friendly way to enjoy the tropical rain forest of East Maui. The Classic Tour includes three rappels; the Extended Tour includes four or more rappel events, and you can opt in for some harnessed climbing if you like.
Where the Rappel Maui Tour Takes Place
You'll learn to walk down walls of water and rock on Maui, in one of the more remote locations on the eastern section of the island. You'll meet your guides at the activity site on the Road to Hana Highway, approximately 26 miles (1 hour) from Kahului and 50 miles (1.5 hours) from Lahaina.
No previous climbing, canyoning or rappelling experience is necessary. Beginners welcome. We'll provide all your gear (including footwear), snacks and bottled water. You'll discover a private rainforest canyon with waterfalls and lush forest trails. The intimate location makes for Maui's most exclusive and private outdoor tour. Make memories of a lifetime. You can do this!
