KAHULUI HIKING FIELD GUIDE
Jungle Waterfall Adventure: Two Miles Through Bamboo and Waterfall Pools in Kahului
A 2-mile, 3.5-hour guided hike through Maui’s jungle—towering bamboo, flowering fruit trees and cascading waterfalls—with GoPro videography and guided safety provisions to help you plan the excursion.
Jungle Waterfall Adventure: Two Miles Through Bamboo and Waterfall Pools in Kahului.
Wander into a section of Maui where the forest closes in around a narrow trail, bamboo towers overhead, flowers and fruit trees punctuate the green, and the path ends at a series of cascading waterfalls and freshwater pools. The Jungle Waterfall Adventure is a mild-to-moderate, 2-mile round-trip hike out of Kahului that pairs scenic variety with hands-on guidance and on-tour videography so your visit is preserved long after you leave the poolside.
