East Maui Waterfalls & Rain Forest Hike

It's unusual for a rain forest valley to have this many waterfalls close together, so this is a popular spot on Maui's famous Hana Highway. But, since we know the owners well, we're the only tour company allowed in the valley. We hike 2.5 miles round trip to four or five waterfalls from 10 to 40 feet high. Great waterfalls, big, clear swimming pools, terrific bamboo and tropical rain forests, fresh-water streams. You may even jump off rock cliffs into the pools. It's fun and it's beautiful. And the waterfalls can't be beat.
