The Kahekili Highway Tour showcases a raw, stunning stretch of northwest Maui that very few travelers ever experience. Maui's best kept secret, the knowledgeable guides will lead you past soaring sea cliffs, hidden beaches, picturesque Hawaiian villages, and a spectacular natural blowhole. This private west Maui tour features the Nakalele Blowhole, explores the dramatic lava rock formations at Dragon's Teeth, discovers the pristine beauty of Slaughterhouse Beach, and passes through Kahakuloa — a peaceful village that feels like the Hawai'i of long ago. This is Maui without the crowds, without the stress, and completely off-thebeaten-trail. Just your group, your guide, and Maui's Wild West coast.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your guide will text you from their personal cell phone a couple of days before your tour to confirm pickup details and introduce themselves. Whether you opt to meet your guide at our office or start the day directly from your resort, having a direct means to communicate with your guide makes the morning stress- free!
For guests arriving on a cruise ship, we ask that you meet your guide at a location a short distance from the harbor (~15 min walking). Drop off is smoother yet- we can bring you to a designated area right alongside the vessel within the harbor!
Our office is right next door to a charming country store stocked with coffee and snacks, and our private parking lot is safe and easy to find. Our guests staying on the Westside should stick with pickup directly from your resort.

1Dragon's Teeth
The tour opens at one of Maui's most otherworldly lava formations — Dragon's Teeth. This stretch of the Kapalua Coastal Trail leading to Makaluapuna Point has jagged, tooth-like spires rising from the coastline. Thousands of years ago, lava from Mauna Kahālāwai (now often called the West Maui Mountains) flowed toward the sea, where strong winds and powerful waves forced it upward as it cooled. The area is also a wahi pana — a sacred place — home to the ancient Hawaiian burial ground of Honokahua, a reminder of the deep connection Native Hawaiians have with this land. Walk the rocky shelf, scan the water for Honu (Green Hawaiian Sea Turtles), and take in sweeping views of the sister islands Lāna'i and Moloka'i across the ʻAuʻau Channel.

2Slaughterhouse Beach
The name sounds ominous, but Slaughterhouse Beach is one of the most beautiful and secluded stretches of sand on Maui's northwest coast. A pristine crescent of sand and emerald water tucked beneath dramatic sea cliffs, Slaughterhouse Beach is one of West Maui's most stunning hidden gems. Protected from development and far from resort crowds, Mokuleia Bay is a favorite among bodysurfers and anyone who loves a beach that feels genuinely undiscovered.

3Nakalele Blowhole
One of Maui's most powerful natural spectacles. At Nakalele Point, ocean swells funnel through a lava shelf and explode skyward in a geyser that can reach over 50 feet. Your guide will bring you to the best vantage point on this dramatic stretch of rugged West Maui coastline. It's a setting that feels like the edge of the earth — raw lava, open sky, and the Pacific stretching endlessly in every direction.

Waiakeakua Gulch is a hidden cathedral of sea cliffs and crashing waves. Wild, remote, and unknown to most tourists, this aweinspiring valley will leave you speechless. The name is nearly unGoogleable, which means the guests are among the very few who ever find it.

5Waihee Beach Park
The tour winds down at one of Maui's most underrated beaches where locals come to fish, swim, and watch the sunset. It's the perfect final stop: quiet, beautiful, and a world away from the crowded resorts.
