Maui Canyon Adventures
Canyoning and canyoneering are new exciting things to do on Maui and in Hawaii. Since this activity has gained international popularity, Hawaii has become noticed as a destination of consummate opportunity for canyoning. Each of the islands has canyons thousands of feet deep, many featuring waterfalls hundreds of feet tall--some more than a thousand feet. Although access is problematic, the rewards are incredible. As a result many of the canyons have seen descents by experienced teams of international canyoners, some of whom have left bolts as a token of their conquests..
Maui Canyon Adventures is currently in a permitting process with the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources. Upon completion of this process we plan to offer a comprehensive program of beginning, intermediate and advanced canyoning and canyoneering tours.
Since safety is a primary concern, we have a assembled a competent and experienced guide staff. Our anchors, ropes, harnesses and hardware, helmets and shoes are specially-designed for the rigors of this extreme sport. All of our equipment is the best available, ropes are checked thoroughly on a daily basis, and we keep accurate rope logs. All gear is maintained in top condition, or it is replaced. Every piece of equipment we use is rated for enormous loads.
Prior to every trip we check the water level and discharge volume in the many streams in Maui that have electronic monitoring devices that display their data on the USGS website in real time. We also keep a close watch on the weather patterns. If there's any danger of flooding, we cancel or postpone our trips to the next day. If the water does begin to rise while we're in a canyon, we have emergency exit routes for each stage of the canyons in which we'll operate, and our guides are trained in swift-water rescue techniques as well and are experienced in reading the weather conditions of our islands.
Of all the things to do in Maui, Hawaii, canyoning may be the most thrilling activity. It combines hiking, rappelling, jumping into pools, swimming and climbing under the direction of competent Maui canyoning guides.
Long known for the Maui extreme sports of big-wave surfing, paragliding, wind surfing and kite surfing, now there’s Maui canyoning and canyoneering. This activity in Maui is easy to learn and fun to experience. Rappelling down cliffs is one the most spectacular extreme sports things to do in Hawaii.
