Na'ili'ili haele, the “bamboo forest”
Hoapili Trail
Makamaka'ole Valley
Hidden along the twisting road between Kahului and Kahakuloa, Makamaka'ole offers
some of the most accessible
waterfalls
in West Maui. This
short, steep,
and
slippery
hike
should only be attempted by physically fit hikers who are steady on their feet (

Hoapili Trail
Tucked away in the “deep south,” the Hoapili Trail traces the winding
footpath of royalty
across
black fields of lava
. This winding,
rugged coastal track
is an enchanting time
portal to ancient Hawai'i. Mornings are best to beat the hot sun (

Pipiwai Trail
If expansive
banyan trees, dark bamboo forests,
and numerous
waterfalls
aren't enough
of a thrill, this four-mile trail in Kipahulu reaches a dramatic terminus at the base of
400-foot
Waimoku Falls.
Often regarded as the island's best hike, this should be on every
itinerary for a day spent in Hana (
