Honokohau falls are probably the tallest falls in the
Maui location. The extraordinary waterfall was filmed in the movie ‘Jurassic
Park’ to produce ‘out of the world’ and exotic beauty experience. The falls is
named after the Honokohau stream which is a long river starting from the Puu Kukui
summit. The place gets frequent rains, the summit gets over 9000 mm rain every
year. These rains help small rivers and fall into the valley.
The waterfalls is two layered, the upper one is higher
and falls into small pool, then falls at shorter distance. The height is
mentioned as 341 m; however it is actually 487 m according to the people living
there. It is difficult to access the waterfall by feet; however helicopter tour
will make your trip amazing. The scene looks stunning as the waterfall starts
from clouds and then flows into the emerald looking mountains.
The mesmerizing view of the falls will take your breath away;
you will feel out of the world at one glance of the Honokohau falls. Hiking and
access by car is also impossible here, therefore book the chopper in advance to
prevent disappointment later on. There are various companies offering tours to visitors,
