Overview
Journey into the unspoiled landscape of Maui’s east shore on a day trip to explore the area’s towering waterfalls and dense stands of bamboo, journeying along the iconic Hana Highway along the way. This hiking trip and scenic drive along the rugged eastern coastline of Maui is a great chance for nature lovers to explore a different side of this island beyond the beaches and luaus.
Start your day at the Maui Park n’ Ride, continuing on a drive along the famous Hana Highway, a rugged road on Maui’s east coast that winds past a range of incredible scenery and more than 50 bridges. Soon you’ll reach the trailhead for your hike to the waterfalls, journeying into a dense natural environment referred by locals and visitors alike as “old Hawaii.”
During the course of your hike, you’ll proceed past a collection of cascading streams and pouring waterfalls, also known as the “Seven Sacred Pools,” thanks to its sublime beauty. Proceed along paths cutting through dense groves of bamboo, continuing towards a number of other waterfalls buried deep in the forest, some towering as high as 400 feet (122m).
At the half-way point of your day, take a break for lunch featuring a deli-style sandwich. Return to your original departure point at the conclusion of your tour.

Amazing Day from Start to End!
Nancylou65, Apr 2025
This was such an amazing day! We chose this Road to Hana tour over others because of the hike to the waterfalls - specifically Waimoku - and that end result was well worth the trip! But so many other sights along the way during both the drive and hike were spectacular! Tim was very knowledgeable and a skilled driver as well. The hike was challenging for us both in our 60s - uphill most the way in - but manageable and both Tim and MoMo - who came along for training - were attentive and we did not feel rushed. Snacks, sandwiches (even gluten free), backpacks, etc all provided. Stops in Hana and, unexpectedly at the Twin Falls were so amazing! We will definitely use HikeMaui again if we get the opportunity!

We're so glad you joined us for the Road to Hana adventure—it truly is a one-of-a-kind journey, and making it all the way to Waimoku Falls is no small feat! It’s wonderful to hear that Tim and MoMo helped make the hike both manageable and memorable, and that their attentiveness let you enjoy the beauty at your own pace. Sounds like you really took in the full magic of the day—from waterfalls to local stops and everything in between. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another unforgettable Maui experience! Keep on hikin’!
Beauty of This Area Can't Be Overstated

My wife and I had a great time on this full day tour a couple of weeks ago. Michael is a very knowledgeable guide who is expert on the history and features of all the spots he showed us. He really made the trip stand out. The beauty of this area is something that can't be overstated. While I recommend this tour, it needs to be noted that each person should be in decent shape. We didn't have any problem with it, but we did notice a couple of people in our group that appeared to have been struggling towards the end. Overall 5-stars.
Response from Host, Jan 2025

Maui’s beauty truly is unparalleled! Thank you for highlighting the importance of being prepared for the physical aspect of the hike—it’s a great reminder for future adventurers. We’re so glad you enjoyed your time with us and appreciate your 5-star recommendation.
Anniversary Excursion
545josephi, Nov 2024
We did the full day Hana experience for our Anniversary. It was a last minute booking that we squeezed in on our stay in Maui. The last time I’ve been on the road to Hana was in 1980. Enrique was our guide, he was very knowledgeable about the history and culture of Maui. The ride is winding and some areas only 1 vehicle could pass. I recommend taking a Dramamine prior. Enrique was a very safe driver and tried to make the ride as comfortable as possible. The views along the way are well worth the drive. Enrique had snacks, water and lunch prepared for the day trip. Once arriving at the hike, he gave us ponchos and hiking sticks to assist us. The hike is not to strenuous it was 1.8 miles one way. The end goal was Waimoku Falls which was beautiful. The ride back we had time to stop at Puaa Kaa State Wayside Park to see the waterfall and Ho’ Okipa Beach Park to see the turtles covering the beach. Overall, my wife and I are satisfied with the excursion and would recommend it to others.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for choosing to celebrate such a special occasion with us! We’re delighted to hear that your anniversary Hana adventure brought back memories from your last trip in 1980. Enrique is indeed a gem—his knowledge of Maui’s history and culture, along with his commitment to safety, makes him an outstanding guide for the winding road to Hana. We’re glad the snacks, water, and extra gear made the hike enjoyable and that reaching Waimoku Falls was as breathtaking as you’d hoped. Mahalo for recommending us, and we’d be honored to welcome you both back for more adventures in the future!
