Guided hike through the Pipiwai Trail's bamboo forest to 400-foot Waimoku Falls
Located in the Kipahulu District, past Hana town - one of Maui's most rewarding trails
The Pipiwai Trail is widely regarded as one of Maui's best hikes - a path through a dense bamboo forest and past the Seven Sacred Pools area, ending at the dramatic 400-foot Waimoku Falls. This guided version handles the long drive from Kahului so guests don't have to self-navigate.
Tripreviewall's Take
One of Maui's genuinely best hikes - worth prioritizing this over a generic Road to Hana drive if you have to choose.
Good for
Hikers wanting real trail time rather than a mostly-driving day
Waterfall and bamboo forest enthusiasts
Worth knowing
The trail is roughly 4 miles round trip with some elevation and can be muddy - wear real hiking shoes, not sandals
This is a long day given the Kahului-to-Kipahulu drive time; confirm start time and total hours
