Walk to several waterfalls in one of Maui's most popular rain forest valleys. The falls are between 10 and 40 feet tall, and all have large pools perfect for swimming or toe-dipping (there is time for a swim for those who wish to do so). This valley is unusual because it has so many waterfalls close together.
You'll experience Maui at its best as you explore among gorgeous bamboo and tropical rain forests, freshwater streams, numerous waterfalls and pools, ferns, flowers and fruit trees.
The whole area is a playground of beauty and adventure, and there is nothing as refreshing and bracing as showering under a Hawaiian waterfall.
Your rain forest walk is enhanced by expert naturalist guides -- these 'walking encyclopedias' can answer your questions about botany, ethnobotany, geology, culture and history.
The tour operator won Hawaii's Eco-Tour Company of the Year award in 2010.
Notes:
The hike is two miles round trip. Footing can be tricky. Terrain includes rocks, roots, streams, occasional steep inclines, and sometimes mud. This is not a strenuous hike, but participants should be in reasonable physical condition. Lunch, backpack, rain poncho, insect repellent (when needed) and bottled water are provided. Wear your swimsuit under your clothing; bring a towel, reef-safe/biodegradable sunscreen, light clothing to act as a full cover-up for further protection from the sun, and a hat. Swim at your own risk. Wear sturdy walking shoes or heavy-duty sandals for the hike. Minimum age is 10 years.
