Waikamoi Falls
Waikamoi Falls is a small waterfall of about 40 feet that plunges into a clear pool just off the shoulder of the Hāna Highway on East Maui. A very short walk of only a few minutes from roadside parking reaches the intimate falls.
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 Hawaii DOT (Hāna Highway right-of-way) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
