Twin Falls (Wailele / Hoʻolawa)
Twin Falls is a cluster of waterfalls and swimming pools in the Hoʻolawa Valley at the start of Maui's Road to Hāna, near mile marker 2. The roughly 1.5-mile round-trip trail runs across the privately owned Wailele Farm, which opens the land to the public with paid first-come parking.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Private (Wailele Farm; public access by permission, paid parking) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.

No measured height is on record for Twin Falls (Wailele / Hoʻolawa) in the land-manager and survey sources this inventory draws on. We list it without a height rather than estimating one.
The Twin Falls Trail (Wailele Farm) reaches it about 1.5 miles (out-and-back), rated easy. The nearest town is Haʻikū. That describes the route as documented, not conditions on the day — check with Private (Wailele Farm; public access by permission, paid parking) for closures and current conditions.
Year-round (best flow after rain; flash-flood risk in the valley). Waterfall flow swings enormously with snowmelt and recent rain, so a fall that roars in spring can be a trickle by late summer.
