Hike Maui hiking Maui eco tour adventure: walking, whale watching, snorkeling, kayaking and birding for your Hawaii vacation Called the "grandfather of ecotourism," Hike Maui has offered naturalist-led hikes into Maui's wilderness since 1983. Our Hikes Our Story Our Guides Best of Maui Comments & Articles Common Questions Information, Contact Us Store Map & Directions Why Hike Maui? Experience 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. Best Guides Described as "walking encyclopedias," our guides are considered the best on Maui (read " Our Guides "). They include: a marine biologist a professor of ethnobotany and botany two (former) national park rangers an expert on whales, dolphins and turtles two wildlife biologists a (former) physics teacher Safety In two decades, we've never had a major mishap. All guides are CPR and First Aid certified. Permits & Licenses We have permits and permission to hike to more places on public and private lands than any other Maui tour company. Favorite Quotes from a stack of articles: " All of (Hike Maui's) guides seem to be encyclopedias in hiking boots." Honolulu Magazine " Back at the Hike Maui van, one man said, 'This has been a great day. In fact, it has been the best day of my entire life.'" Travel & Leisure Magazine " Nothing is overlooked on (Hike Maui's) hikes." Los Angeles Times " Among the most incredible adventures to be experienced on Maui..."

The craft was used in Old Hawaii when feather lei were used primarily to honor the alii (royalty). Even today the feather lei is considered a rarity, since the beautiful pelts are often difficult to obtain and the workmanship is usually long and painstaking. The feathers are carefully selected, cut and trimmed and the entire process is slow going. The feather lei can be draped along the base of a hat as a hatband and can also be worn around the neck. Hawaiian Quilts For a tropical climate like Hawaii, you may find it odd that Hawaiian quilts are so prevalent, often displayed decoratively as wall art in large rooms or hallways. Yet the art of quilt making in the islands is a valued tradition that continues to gain in popularity. Hawaiian quilting is different from other methods because it uses its own pattern and features appliqué blocks in most quilts. The missionaries first introduced these appliqué blocks to the islands and many of the early designs can still be seen in Hawaiian quilts today. Niihau Shell Necklace The Niihau Shell Lei is a special Hawaiian necklace made from rare shells that can only be found on the island of Niihau. These are the only shells that are classified as “gems” and once you see them, you’ll understand why. These delicate shells come in a variety of colors including white, yellow, orange and even a rare blue. Whole families are involved in collecting the shells and carefully sorting them by size and color. The intricate craftsmanship that goes into a Niihau Shell Lei makes each one a prized possession.
