Maui waterfalls are some of the most romantic in the world.
The following locations exude natural ambiance and offer you and your partner the perfect place to escape reality...even if just for a few moments.
Mark down these 4 Maui waterfalls on your must-see list:
1. WaimokuFalls
If you have the chance to experience the Road to Hana for yourself, you will be met by some of the most picturesque waterfalls in Maui.
Including the astounding Waimoku Falls...
Located above the renowned Seven Sacred Pools at the head of the Pipiwai Trail, these falls are considered to be some of the tallest in Maui. With a brilliant 400-foot cascade down a remarkable wall of lava rock, it’s no wonder this spot has become such an illustrious landmark.
The Pipiwai Trail is a four-mile hike along the Pipiwai Stream. You will also encounter the charming Makahiku Falls.
About halfway through your hike, you will begin to hear the tranquil lullaby of creaking bamboo as you enter a dazzling bamboo forest that you won’t forget any time soon.
2. Twin Falls
Sometimes forgotten in Maui guidebooks, the Twin Falls - located on the grounds of the Wailele Farm - are mistakenly looked down upon for being too “touristy.”
For the lucky visitor that ignores the hearsay during their Road to Hana excursion, you will be greeted by a one-of-a-kind hike through rainforest terrain that runs along the pristine Ho’olawa Stream. The property road been preserved and restored by farm residents and serves as the main path for hikers.
By going left at a fork in the path, you will find yourself immersed in a landscape riddled with an abundance of waterfalls and swimming holes, the most famous of which is the Caveman.
3. AleleleFalls
When traveling along the road to Hana, visitors will eventually reach a point that marks the “back-side.”
Just before you hit this rough, unauthorized terrain, however, you’ll come to a small dirt road that leads to the Alelele Falls.
This 50ft waterfall is a hidden gem along the legendary road to Hana. Descending into a serene plunge pool, it’s the ideal spot for romance. It’s the perfect place to take some gorgeous pictures and truly embrace the natural beauty Maui has to offer.
The best time to visit these falls is during the winter months.
4. WailuaFalls
Wailua Falls are known for being the most accessible on the island.
They are located just north of Lihue on the southern edge of the Wailua River.
This 80-foot waterfall is an incredible site to behold. Most famous for their appearance in the credits of the T.V. show Fantasy Island, this location has attracted visitors for years.
The perfect option for visitors that can’t manage a strenuous hike, this Maui waterfall can be viewed roadside.
Many hikers have also found trails near the roadside viewing point that leads to the base of the falls. But they’re notoriously dangerous due to their slippery, steep terrain.
