This is a rugged and strenuous 5-mile trail from Maalaea to Ukumehame. This is an out-and-back hike with trailheads on either end. Both trailheads are close to sea level and the trail gains ~1600 ft. in 2.5 miles, then descends back toward sea level for another 2.5 miles. The Lahaina Pali Trail is rocky, and the uphill portions can be …

Lower Puohokamoa Falls flow can fluctuate dramatically. When the flow is low, there is a wonderful pool at the base of the falls that experienced hikers can access. The trail is treacherous and steep – with a wrong move potentially ending in catastrophic consequences – so if you are not an expert-level hiker in this type of terrain, it is …
11. Zip across the treetops Ziplines are an incredibly fun way to see parts of Maui you’d never see. The best lines fly riders over rough terrain and verdant gulches, riders soar over a beautiful forest canopy. A zipline is a stationary cable stretched between two points, with the rider strapped into a trolley. Gravity pulls the rider along the …

If you’re looking at the map below, first thing you’ll notice are two parking areas with trails to the blowhole. If you’re less mobile or traveling with little ones, the closer area at the 38.5mm would probably be your best choice. This area is also overlooking the blowhole so those who prefer can view it from a distance without having …
Getting to Nemo Falls requires a fairly easy ~1/3 mile hike through the Ko’olau Forest Reserve along a 4WD ditch access road, then crossing a narrow utility footbridge (read: potentially unsafe to the untrained, and also probably EMI property), followed by a moderately difficult scramble a few hundred yards upstream, across slippery rocks with poor footing. Also, if the streamflow …
Taking into account the easy accessibility, the Pipiwai Trail offers, hands-down, the all-around best of East Maui’s most dramatic stream and waterfall hikes. This idyllic 1.8 mile trail unfolds alongside a string of (many more than seven) pools and waterfalls framed by the lush green diversity of the lush tropical rainforest. The dramatic diversity then suddenly morphs into the zen-oneness …

The only part worth stopping for here are the bathrooms, but if you need to schedule a stop, once out of the car it can be a convenient and fairly …
In a nutshell: CLOSED. Hike into windward West Maui Mountains across suspension bridges, small waterfalls and end at a pool. Minuses: CLOSED. Sound-bite:“I’m trespassing, but I paid the fee!?!” UPDATE: AS OF SEPTEMBER 2011 THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY CLOSED A strong razor-wire lined gate has been placed on the trail/access road. Sorry, it is actually a very sore spot among …
