A guided hike worth taking! - This hike has everything - great scenery, history lessons, local recommendations, and awesone conversations. Without Andrew, we would have missed so many things going on our own (it wasn't just about getting to the top). He was knowledgeable, thoughtful, personable, and safely conscious. We highly recommend doing this!

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.
