Hike Maui
Certainly the oldest, most well known and most highly respected hiking company on the island is Hike Maui. Hike Maui was the brainchild of naturalist and "hiker extraordinaire" Ken Schmitt. Ken's story dates back to the late 70's when he arrived on Maui to check out of the world of academia where he studied classical Greek and Latin as an undergraduate and then majored in Oriental philosophies for his graduate degree. He decided to come to Maui...and totally check out. One day he walked into the jungle and lived there for three years. During those years he learned the lessons that "Mother Maui" taught and only returned to civilization when he was called to share this knowledge with others. For the first 10 years or so, he only gave hikes himself, but they had so much emotional impact on others that he quickly became known as the "hiking guru" of Maui. Dozens of articles were written about him in publications ranging from Travel and Leisure, Conde Naste, The Saturday Evening Post and Town and Country. Soon he had just too much business to handle and so now he has attempted to essentially "clone himself" with an extensive professional staff that are among the best the industry has to offer.

Customer Testimonial
Tom and the team –
This is not a question, but rather an acknowledgement of your fine service and friendly staff, like Leslie and others.
For the past 7 years, we have been using your service for over 20 activities. We have never been disappointed in service or in value. We always refer you to people we see and will continue to do so.
Keep up the great customer service - it really pays off. We just got back from Maui yesterday, so we will see you all again in 2008.
Thanks for everything.
