DESCRIPTION
Take Hawaii by Storm and let us guide you to one of the most talked about hikes in all of Hawaii! Traverse to Waimoku on the world famous "Pipiwai Trail," where your group will witness the Banyan Tree, Makahiku Falls, and the lush bamboo forest everyone is talking about! At the end of the Pipiwai Trail, Waimoku Falls awaits! As it crests a 400 foot cliff face it will steal your breath away with its beauty! This hike is located in the Kipahulu District of Haleakala National Park. Our expert guides will take you the reverse route or the "backside" route to this hike. Through the rolling hills of Kaupo, to the organic farms of Kipahulu take the road less traveled and make this one of the best days you've had on vacation! NOTE: This is a Moderate Difficulty Hike in a remote area. Physical Fitness to complete entire trail is advised! Not everyone in the group is required to complete entire hike and can wait at the visitor's center while others complete the 3-4 hour hike. All tours are private and customizable. Entire Road to Hana will not be combined with this tour. Purchase the Hana & Back Adventure on a separate day to get the most out of East Maui with this tour.
