Breathtaking Waterfalls Along the Road to Hana
1. Twin Falls
Located just a few miles into the Road to Hana, Twin Falls
is the perfect starting point for your adventure. This set of waterfalls is
easily accessible and provides a refreshing spot to cool off in the natural
pools. Surrounded by lush vegetation, Twin Falls offers excellent photo
opportunities and a serene beginning to your journey.
2. Wailua Falls
Known for its dramatic drop and picturesque setting, Wailua
Falls is a must-see. This 80-foot waterfall is located near mile marker 45 and
is one of the most photographed spots on the Road to Hana. The falls are stunning after heavy rainfall, creating a powerful cascade that
plunges into a clear, deep pool below.
3. Upper Waikani Falls (Three Bears Falls)
Upper Waikani Falls, commonly referred to as Three Bears
Falls, is a spectacular trio of waterfalls that cascade down the mountainside
in a breathtaking display. Located between mile markers 19 and 20, these falls
are named for their varying sizes – resembling a bear family with a papa bear,
mama bear, and baby bear. A short hike from the road will reward you with an
up-close view of these majestic falls.
4. Hanawi Falls
Nestled deep within the rainforest, Hanawi Falls is one of
the most secluded and enchanting waterfalls along the route. This multi-tiered
waterfall can be found near mile marker 24 and is best viewed from a bridge
that crosses the Hanawi Stream. The dense foliage and the soothing sound of
cascading water create a truly magical atmosphere.
5. Waimoku Falls
As one of the tallest waterfalls on the Road to Hana,
Waimoku Falls is an awe-inspiring sight. Standing at 400 feet, this towering
cascade is the reward at the end of the Pipiwai Trail, a 4-mile round trip hike
through bamboo forests and over scenic bridges. The trail is part of the
Haleakalā National Park and offers an immersive experience in nature.
