About this experience
There is no other tour experience like this on Maui. You will get to see first hand what a working conservation team does on a daily basis and why it is so important. We go into forest that contains endangered and indigenous plants and animals that visitors wouldn't be able to easily see otherwise. Most of the Mountain areas on Maui are privately owned with restricted access. This tour gives you the access.

Great experience
We had great time with our guide Jason on the private Honolua Ridgeline hike. The location is very special - restricted access forest hike on the top of the west Maui mountain ridge above the former Kapalua plantation. We hiked through the arboretum founded by D.T.Fleming, and got a detailed insight into the various native plants and trees and their connection to Hawaii culture and mythology. We learned about the challenges the local ecosystems face from invasive species and how they shape the ability to retain water in the landscape. On the turning point of the ridge hike, you get a wonderful view of the West Maui coast. Jason was professional, knowledgeable and very engaging with just the right approach for adults or kids, our 8 and 11 year old learned so much and quoted many facts throughout our stay in Maui. I can highly recommend this outfit, they offer a very special tour in a unique location, are locally owned and clearly care deeply about nature conservation.
Response from the operator: Mahalo for joining us and providing your wonderful feedback. Hope to see you next time!

Beautiful tour and easy hike
Jason gave us the most amazing tour! We loved learning about all the different trees and plants to understand their role in the watershed and water cycle, as well as interesting stories about Hawaiian history and culture. The hike was about 3 miles and took 3 hours, so it was at a slow and easy pace that left plenty of time for Q&A, rest and photos. What a great experience!

Fantastic guide and special hike!
Just got back from an eco-tour and how special it was. Our tour guide was Yancey and he was amazinggggg and knew everything. The land of Hawaii is undoubtedly a most sacred place and one way to prove this is how nature just takes hold here. The Honolua Ridgeline is filled with vast species of trees, plants, flowers and more. This was one of my favorite experiences and I would highly recommend it to anyone! Thank you, Yancey!!!
Response from the operator: Mahalo for joining us! Yancey definitely is amazingggg!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Hike Honolua Ridgeline: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Maui.
How much does Hike Honolua Ridgeline cost?
+
Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Maui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Hike Honolua Ridgeline take?
+
Plan for about 3.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Maui is not rushed.
Is Hike Honolua Ridgeline worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 76 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Maui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Hike Honolua Ridgeline?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Hike Honolua Ridgeline suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Hike Honolua Ridgeline?
+
Around 27 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Maui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Maui and add a light layer if any part of the 3.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Hike Honolua Ridgeline start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Maui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Maui?
+
Maui's three signature days are the Hana road, the Haleakala summit sunrise and the Molokini snorkel sail, and all three are logistics problems as much as experiences. Sunrise summit entry is permit-controlled, Hana is a ten-hour driving day, and Molokini boats vary wildly in size. Our ranking rewards operators who handle permits and keep boat capacity low. On Outty we rank every Maui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Molokini Crater + South Maui Coast Adventure from Kihei, Maui, Maui: VIP Private Road to Hana Tour with Pick Up, Road to Hana Adventure Maui Tour with Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Maui?
+
April to May and September to October. Whale season runs December to April. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Maui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
