Vehicle Required

If you're looking for a tough hike/good workout with an incredible view at the top - this is the hike for you! An out and back trail that is little over 4 miles in total.

The trail head is about 45 minutes from Wailea/Kihei area.

The trail opens at 7am and we recommend getting there as close to that time as possible, and no later than 7:45am. This is a popular trail and the main parking lot fills up quickly. Also, being that this hike is in the West Maui mountains, it is known for rainy weather and cloud coverage. By getting there early, you can beat the clouds that will eventually roll in.

Please note, this hike is an incline the entire way to the top and due to the common rainy weather that area of Maui experiences, the trail can be wet/muddy and become slick.

We suggest wearing a solid trail sneaker or hiking boots if you have them.

You can read more about the hike as well as reviews from those that have hiked the trail, here.

If you do this hike, we recommend stopping at the Iao Valley State Monument which is about 20 minutes from the trail head. Since it's a state park, there is an admission fee of $5/person I believe. You can read more information about the Iao Valley State Monument, here.
