Wailua Falls - Monday 1:30pm

The Wailua Falls are one of Maui’s most famous waterfalls. On your road trip along the Hana Highway, Wailua Falls is one that’s impossible to miss. As in… It’s so close to the road, you almost feel like you could reach your hand out the window to touch it – that is, if the crowd of onlookers wasn’t in your way!

 

Unlike many other Road to Hana waterfalls, there’s ample parking space, which helps explain the large number of photo-snapping tourists. However, most of them take their selfies and continue on their way.

 

For a more personal and private encounter with the 80-foot Wailua Falls, you only need to walk a short way down to the base of the waterfall – then maybe even take a refreshing dip in its lovely pool.

 

As an added treat, take advantage of the local vendors who set up camp in front of the falls and buy a special Hawaiian souvenir!
