Extreme Sports and Adventures on Maui

While Maui is perfect for lounging on the beach and sipping mai tais, it's also the perfect place for extreme adventures. Buckle your seatbelts and put down the drink! Maui offers amazing sports and adventures for all adrenaline junkies.

If you're a hunter, wild boar hunting is an awesome way to experience Hawaiian culture and the island of Maui. Track wild boars through beautiful fern country, and use knives and dogs to get your own wild boar.

This super unique experience will have your heart pumping, and you will learn traditional hunting techniques.

While there are a variety of tours that will take you out hunting, you will need to have your own Hawaii state hunting license and have completed a hunting safety course in your own state.

If you want to add an extra fun experience to your Hana trip, check out Rappel Maui. Go canyoning and experience the amazing waterfalls in a privately-owned, secluded valley. Descend through a rushing waterfall and explore Maui's hidden trails.

No prior experience is necessary, and you'll learn techniques and gain confidence to rappel without fear. These tours take place rain or shine.

Fly off a volcano in Maui and experience the thrill of gliding over the valleys and coastline of this lush island. With flights ranging from 4 to 12 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to soak in the views and feel the wind in your face.

With over 30,000 flights logged, you can take off with confidence and enjoy the ride. You don't even have to jump off a cliff– just run down a hill and take off. Each flight is tandem, or you can even learn how to become a solo paragliding pilot.

Experience incredible views and soar across the longest ziplines on Maui with Kapalua Ziplining. This dual zipline course spans 2 miles and goes from vast panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, and then shoots over a tropical rainforest.

Plus, you'll trek across a 360-foot suspension bridge and finish off your rainforest adventure with an ATV ride.

This adventure has it all, but there is an age restriction– all guests must be over the age of 10. An adult must accompany anyone under the age of 17.

For dive enthusiasts, Maui Dreams Dive Co offers PADI instruction, guided shore dives, and more in Kihei, South Maui. With scooter dives and night dives, you can truly have any dive you desire.

There's perfect water for beginners and advanced divers. Experience abundant marine life, guaranteed sightings of the Hawaiian Sea Turtles, and even see or hear Whales during November through March.

Conclusion

Maui has no shortage of unique and amazing experiences. With a volcano, rainforest, waterfalls, and the ocean, there are so many wonderful things to do. Truly, the sky is the limit! What adventure will you do?
