10 Waterfalls in Maui That You Shouldn't Miss
The Hawaiian island of Maui is a destination for true nature lovers. The ethereal bamboo forest and churning waterfalls in Haleakala National Park can be explored via the Waimoku Falls Trail. Stretch out on warm, golden sands or hit the surf for an unforgettable windsurfing or snorkeling session. Driving the scenic road to Hana along the island’s northeastern shore will be among the most spectacular journeys of your life. Time stands still at the Hawaiian village of Keanae, definitely worth a visit.

I can't overstate this unbelievable experience, from a hikers perspective. It's one of my top 5 in the United States and I've hiked all over in the U.S. The diverse landscapes you hike through are simply incredible. And while some might prefer wide vistas, as I do, but I still go chasing waterfalls. Lol. The pictures don't do this place any justice. Spend an overnight in Hana to arrive early and have this place to yourself... it's worth it. If you don't mind the risk and pay attention to weather reports to avoid any flooding then you can hike right up to the base of the 400 foot Waimoku Falls. The mist and roar of the water is exhilarating!

About a half mile trail, pretty steep in sections and featuring two pretty scary climbs, taking you past a nice pool, a medium high waterfall with small pool, and down to a high falls with a big pool that requires a a rope climb down a 25 foot cliff. Do not wear sandals and spray yourself with plenty of bug spray. You'll have the lower fall to yourself if you dare do the rope climb, except on weekends. This is Hawaiian jungle at its best, with pleanty of trailside strawberry guaveas to snack on, and an tree that provides you the handholds to get down and up, It's not easy to find. When you pass the Mendez ranch, start looking for cars pulled to the side of the road.It's six and a half miles after you turn on to Highway 340. Google Maps is not accurate. Keep going past where it ells you to stop unitl you see cars parked by the side. At two of these pull outs, you will find an unmarked trail beginning between bushes. Although unmarked, the trail is clear, though steep in places. Best hike on West Maui I've done so far.

A flower covered three-tiered waterfall.

Sometimes the name leaves something to be desired but in this case, their were 3 distinct falls that is very reminiscent of the Papa bear Mama bear and Baby bear. Take a look at the pic and see for yourself. It's right along the road so if the traffic behind you is too much, a quick stop while remaining in the vehicle is possible.
