Awesome! Have a blast on Maui y’all! We really loved this hike 👏

[@kenrideout412]

Those funky trees are Cook pines. The ones one Lanai are HUGE! They planted a bunch of them on the ridge line above Lanai City to capture cloud mist and supply water to the town.

Thanks Ken! Didn't know the name of them, very cool. Appreciate you watching and subscribing!

What shoes is she wearing in this vid? We will be there shortly and my girl wants similar? / Same thing.

[@TheDetouristGuide]

Adidas Terrex Boots. Forget the exact model but hop on over to their website and I'm sure you can find em 🙂

[@robertharley4554]

Always loved that hike. This was the first hike my wife and I did when we first started dating. The platforms and viewing decks are new, there was only an old picnic table at the top the last time I went up, but that was 24 years ago.

[@alyssabrady5729]

Great video! How far did this trail actually end up being? I know you mentioned you thought 4 miles total.....thinking of maybe doing this hike when we visit in a few weeks!! Can’t wait!!

[@TheDetouristGuide]

Thanks for watching Alyssa! It is just over 4 miles round trip. Definitely recommend it if the weather permits, going early helps too as the clouds move in later in the day. Also, we do have a few more really rad hike episodes in the next few weeks so make sure to subscribe to catch those for your trip!

[@alyssabrady5729]

Awesome! Thanks! Can’t wait to check them out!!

Waihee Ridge Trail is so badass! Also wanted to say I Found you guys from the Maui bound Facebook group. I absolutely love the show so much helpful information on Maui and on long-term travel.

[@TheDetouristGuide]

We love Waihee!

[@JP1970]

Wow, this looks truly amazing! Would it be silly to bring my drone? Just as i asked, I noticed you brought yours. Very cool! Which drone did you bring? I am debating between my Spark or my Autel Evo. Liked and subbed. Thanks!

[@TheDetouristGuide]

Thanks for checking us out! Waihee Ridge Trail is a truly awesome spot to hike on Maui. To answer your questions, I use the Mavic 2 Zoom for my aerial shots. As far as drones in Maui, I would be a bit cautious with flying. People are generally cool, but I did get some people who weren't very happy at the end of my flight here so I did end up taking it down. There's a palpable hate from them amongst certain people here on the island so I only used mine sparingly when I was able to get away from people who might be disturbed. Either way Waihee Ridge it's a beautiful place to visit, and I highly recommend it!

[@JP1970]

@@TheDetouristGuide Wow, those are some great words of warning, my friend! I will heed the warning and do as I tend to try to do, which is fly away from crowds. I was flying recently at Idaho Falls on a motorcycle trip and thought i was away from people, but a bunch of people saw me with the controller and came and asked a bunch of questions about drones and drone flying. It was a bit weird but they were cool. Anyway, thanks again...great channel!

[@TheDetouristGuide]

@@JP1970 Right on! Sounds like you got the right idea!

[@brebrefosheezie]

@@TheDetouristGuide It's also illegal in many places. Not pono to fly a drone in other places with cultural significance as well. I know this was a year ago but check before you go!

[@westwindsailer]

Great video! Always do this early in the morning.Otherwise it clouds up. The first grind gets your legs warmed up...if you can't hack that turn back as it's a huge elevation gain. But an easy hike , bit muddy and slippery , you can't get lost as the trail is literally worn into the ground . Have done this about 4 times..once in mud and flip-flops: not recommended , Easy going up not down! LOL a few ass plants ! . . Fit people I saw were doing this in full on hiking boots, big packs and hiking poles, LOL...ok...total overkill , they were astonished some of us we had flip flops on. P.S. couldn't get the mud out of our runners at least the flip flops cleaned up!

[@lesatoll6383]

How long to get there and back?

[@TheDetouristGuide]

3-4 hours is a safe bet. It really depends on how long you hang up top and how fast you hike.

[@sandrapark]

Such a beautiful capture. I love how you shot in different angles and tried to show different perspectives. Love it. Subscribing to your channel! Hope we can support each other.

[@TheDetouristGuide]
