No previous canyoneering or rappelling experience is necessary. Beginners welcome!Tour SummaryYou can either meet your guides in Central Maui or request hotel/resort pickup for an additional fee. The tour begins with a scenic ride down the famous Road to Hana to the rappelling site–a rainforest preserve about halfway to Hana. Thats where youll gear up in the harness, helmet, devices, flotation jacket, backpack and footwear we provide. Youll then take a short hike to your first rappel, a dry 60- to 100-foot jungle wall, where youll listen to a briefing and watch a demonstration from one of your guides. After you practice on the dry side, youll take a short walk to a 50-foot waterfall, take your rappel, and swim across a small pond. After that, youll unleash your moves on a slightly trickier 30-foot waterfall. If weather conditions cause flooding in the streams and waterfalls, youll use alternate rappel stations that are a safe distance from the watercourse. In between rappels you can enjoy the waterfall pools, take photos and enjoy the surrounding rainforest sights and sounds in this secluded preserve.After a hike under the forests green canopy back up to the top of the ridge, youll enjoy a picnic lunch among forest and ocean views.
