What To Expect

Waihee Canyon

Enjoy the sweet smell of yellow and white ginger flowers as we hike through a lush forest in the West Maui Mountains that is easy to miss. Part of this adventure is the road less traveled, and at times, the entire journey feels that way. Initially hike through bamboo thickets to a dirt trail that weaves in and out of a lava rock stream (involves rock hopping) to an upper tier waterfall and pool for swimming. Along the way, we'll point out old native ruins, native species, such as Awapuhi ginger (seasonal) for conditioning the skin and hair right there! And Banyan trees, originally from India, with aerial roots that leave us in awe of nature. After feeling refreshed from our first swim, we'll return to the original point of entry and begin our decent to the next phase of this journey. The 2nd phase involves hiking through giant basalt formations, while descending down to a lower tier waterfalls to explore and swim in the freshwater pools. The first tier has a natural waterfall slide that gushes into the pool, which is great for kids. Or if you prefer jumping into the pool, go for it! We'll then hike further down the rocky stream to an incredible banyan tree with giant routes for climbing down to a larger more secluded, 2nd tier waterfall and pool, with the option of climbing into the fall. Epic! From here, we stand above an even larger and steep 3rd tier waterfall, for viewing, that gushes toward the ocean.

We had Keola as our guide and were blown away. He is Hawaiian and grew up on Maui so he was very knowledgeable and clearly cares deeply about Maui’s heritage and future. He had a firm grasp on Hawaii’s history as well as current events. He took time to point out old stone walls (covered over the years in moss and vines) and at one point chanted a greeting asking for permission to enter these special places. He hiked barefoot and climbed trees to pull fruit down for us. Kept a steady pace as we are fit and wanted a challenging day. We stopped at four different places to swim and unlike the many people we passed going up the mountain (as we were descending) he took us on the best routes and kept us from making mistakes that wouldn’t necessarily be obvious to the inexperienced hiker. He even stopped to get us banana bread on the way back and dropped us at a great place for lunch (which he suggested). His communication before was great too. If you want both a spectacular AND authentic hike, BOOK THIS NOW with Keola as your guide.

Wow! Mahalo for your incredible review! I’m just as excited to have him on our team as you were. It makes my day to know how memorable the experience was for you, and look forward to sharing this with him.
