Waimoku
falls is one of the most gigantic falls in the Maui region of Hawaii. Located
on the highway thirty-one, this waterfall comes in the southeastern Maui, thus
it is located almost above the seven sacred pools. For reaching up to this
fall, you have to take a four-mile long pipiwai trail; it is a round trip from
and to the Waimoku falls. This trek will usually take anywhere between one to
two hours depending on your pace and footwear, so wear sturdy shoes that last
on the roughest of terrains.
There
is a combined parking available near the trail, where you can park and then
take up walking on the trail. There are some concessions available on weekends
or certain seasons for a guided tour of the whole region. It is advised that
you take all the precautions to save yourself from the harsh afternoon sun. It
is a gigantic 400 ft waterfall that falls in cascading streams, to end in a
streaming boulder of lava.
The
sheer magnificence of the view will overwhelm you. It is also advised to not
stand directly under the falling waters for the fear of debris or lava pieces
falling on you. Therefore, practice caution to enjoy one of the most memorable
trips you will have in your life!
