Waimoku Falls Trail in Hawaii

Waimoku Falls Trail
An amazing Maui hike sure to be a contender for the best hiking trail on the island, he Waimoky Falls trailhead begins at the end of the Hana Highway in Haleakala National Park, the clearly marked visitor’s center is where you’ll start your journey. The trail runs parallel to the road, and crosses it before leading you uphill..

There are multiple waterfalls waterfalls visible from this hike, and each would be a wonderful conclusion the to hike. Makahiku Falls is visible from a trail overlook, with water cascading over the sheer side of the rock, dropping 180 feet to a pool below. Steep walls and perilous footing coupled with the potential for flash floods should prevent hikers from getting too close.

The trail continues alongside the stream, and hikers will pass over bridges and through huge banyan trees. There are more small waterfalls visible along the journey, many of which are excellent photo opportunities. Continuing on through a bamboo forest, visitors will imagine themselves wandering the dense bamboo forests of East Asia with towering trees so crowded, so tall and straight, that the foliage creates a canopy that the sunlight struggles to penetrate. After crossing the stream, you will reach the base of Waimoku Falls.

Waimoku Falls is humongous waterfall that falls some 400 to a pool at the bottom. You can approach the falls, but watch out for falling rocks dislodged at the top of the waterfall that could break loose and hurt visitors standing below, and be cautious of your footing and avoid slippery rocks. The height and natural majesty of the waterfall ensure that no matter your physical distance, any picture taken of Waimoku Falls will capture a beautiful Maui Island memory.
