Great! - The Maui Ridge Hike was one of the best hikes we have ever done in Maui. The views were incredible. Our guide, Andy, knew so much about the island that you could tell he did his research. He answered all our questions and then some. This is not a “walk in the park” hike. Within 2 miles you’re going to have a 1600 foot elevation gain, so make sure you’re in shape. We will definitely tell all our friends about it. Have fun.

Must do tour! - Our guide Andy was the absolute best! He was very thoughtful and allowed us to see our own pace. He gave us lots of information about the area and suggested things we could do that we had not thought of or would have even known about. I definitely recommend this tour for some of the most beautiful scenery and breathtaking views.

Great Hike! Great Guide! - This is truly an amazing hike., 2.2 miles in and 2.2 miles back. Andy was our guide and did an awesome job. He goes at your pace and is constantly making sure you are comfortable and ok with the hike. The views are spectacular . The entire hike takes about 3 hours . We started at 7 am which was great because it is not too warm then. Andy communicated with us before the trip to make sure we knew where to meet and at what time . I can not say enough good things about Andy. I highly recommend this Huke.

Fantastic views and rated the best thing by my teenager! - Absolutely great hike with incredible views of Maui! Our guide Andrew Stout gave us all kinds of insider info about the island and was very sensitive to the different abilities between myself and my daughter. We had excellent weather and clear 360 degree views. While I didn’t make it to the top my daughter did and deemed it the best thing we did all week, beating out scuba and surfing! It is not a long hike 2miles up and 2 miles down but it is very steep and the altitude is no joke! Andrew kept a pretty quick pace that suited my teen but I slowed down a bit and let them go ahead. He was entertaining and clearly had a deep love for the island and all it has to offer. Get there early so you can park in the smaller upper lot past the entrance. Park opens at 7. Bring appropriate shoes and water. I would also wear a hat! While the beginning of the trail is wider and paved it soon turns a bit rocky and does get narrower. Try to pick a clear day if you can as the rest of the week saw the mountain top shrouded in clouds.

Go! - Fantastic guide - I have a severe fear of heights and would not have made this trip without the very suttle support from Andrew. He is able to adjust the experience to the audience. Besides that, it is a beautiful hike in an amazing scenary. You can do it on your own, I would book Andrew anytime again and definitely recommend doing that - it gives you the full experience as he also knows about the surroundings and can give you information along the way

Amazing Experience!! - My husband and I came to Maui for our honeymoon and really wanted to go on a hike and this one was absolutely perfect! Andrew was an amazing guide. The views were spectacular!! Andrew even gave us recommendations for more things to do around this island. I highly recommend this to anybody who wants to be active (the earlier the better) and learn more about Maui!
