With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
With near-perfect weather year-round and arguably some of the most incredible natural scenery in the world, the Hawaiian Islands are home to some of the country’s greatest adventures. From camping on the beach and visiting Waimea Canyon to waterfall hikes and skydiving, there is no greater place for an adventure than Hawaii. And while the options are almost endless, this rappelling excursion on the island of Maui will easily be the coolest thing you do in the Aloha State all year.
Whether you live on Maui or are visiting for the first time, there’s little more exciting than exploring an off-the-beaten-path rainforest valley that hides a secret waterfall along the famous Hana Highway — except perhaps the thrill of rappeling down said waterfall?
Not sure what rappeling is or if you can even handle it? No worries, most of the guests who visit Rappel Maui are first-timers or beginners. This quickly-growing outdoor sport can be intimidating, but the folks at Rappel Maui will show you the ropes and make sure you have fun.
Enter another world as you are transported to this secluded, private activity site in the comfort of a 15-passenger van driven by guides who will talk to you all about the island’s history and customs.
Once you arrive, learn the art and science of rappelling from your guides before trying it out for yourself. Safety is the number one priority here and you’re sure to have a fantastic time as you take part in this one-of-a-kind activity that allows you to see two of Hawaii’s prettiest waterfalls in a whole new perspective.
The full-day tour also includes the opportunity to go hiking through the rainforest and swim under two stunning cascades. The sights, sounds, flavors, and scents you’ll experience on this excursion make for lifetime memories.
First-timers will love the classic tour, which lasts 6 and a half hours and features one dry rappel to practice followed by two wet ones: down waterfalls that are 30 and 50 feet tall, respectively. All of your gear, including shoes, is provided, along with snacks, lunch, and bottled water.
Rappel Maui is open daily, 365 days a year, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, or to book the adventure of a lifetime for yourself, visit their website. You can also follow them on Facebook.
