HIKE MAUI |
| We're the oldest, most experienced hiking company in the
state. We are the wilderness experts. We started by living off the land in Maui's jungle in the
early 1980s (read "Our Story"). Now we have ten big, expensive
vans, way too much insurance and fifteen very knowledgeable hiking guides.
We have permits and permission to hike to more places on public and private
lands than any other Maui tour company. In two decades, we've never had
a major mishap. All guides are CPR and First Aid certified. |
