Maui's ultimate waterfall wonderland--the pristine Kipahulu Valley, an area still described as Old Hawai'i. We hike 4.5-miles (round trip) along national park trails following the most beautiful stream on Maui. It's hard to say which is the most heart stopping: the 200-foot waterfall seen from a spectacular lookout or the 400-foot falls at the end of the trail. Or, it could be the break in the greenery where the rain forest becomes a giant forest of solid bamboo. There is nothing like a dark hike through dense bamboo. The whole place is so spectacular it should be a national park. And it is. >>> SUMMARY <<<< - a narrated, two-hour drive on the Hana Highway - 4.5 mile hike in the national park - 'Ohe'o Gulch - Maui's most magnificent stream - a network of pools and cascading waterfalls - acres of towering bamboo - huge rain forest of tropical plants and trees - 45-foot, 200-foot, 400-foot waterfalls and more - lunch and snacks included. >>> DETAILS <<<< Meet in Central Maui at 7 a.m. Return at 6 p.m. Complimentary resort transfer is available with pickup times between 6:00 and 6:30 a.m. and return times between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m., depending upon your distance from Kahului.
