Embark on a spectacular half-day journey through Maui's untouched native forests and secluded conservation areas, led by a local guide. Begin with a scenic 30-minute van drive as you make your way to the trailhead of the Maunalei Arboretum. Upon arrival, set off on a two-mile round-trip hike, which reveals a hidden side of Hawaii that few experience. Designed for those who seek a deeper understanding of Maui's unique landscapes, this immersive nature tour offers an intimate look at the island's native flora and fauna, as well as its vital water conservation initiatives. Along the trail, your guide will share insights into the delicate ecosystems and a special story about the revered ohia lehua tree. Under the giant banyan, you'll hear the enchanting love story of Ohia and Lehua and learn the profound cultural significance these trees hold in Hawaiian tradition. Return with new appreciation for the island's natural beauty.

Special Notes:

Minimum age is 5 years. Guests should expect to walk approximately two miles on a maintained forest trail, with the first mile at an incline, reaching about 500 feet in elevation. The second mile involves descending the mountain, so be prepared for steeper footing. The hike takes place over a one-hour period with several rest stops. The trail width ranges from three feet to one foot wide. Guests should wear comfortable closed-toe walking shoes, long pants and/or mosquito repellent, a hat for shade, and reef-safe sunscreen. Bring a water bottle (though water is provided). Walking sticks and ponchos are available if there is light rain.
