Hike Through a Bamboo Forest in Maui

03/02/16

When you first get on this trail, you see a variety of trees including a Banyan Tree. As you hike farther into the trail, more bamboo trees appear. Off to the sides are some incredible pools that you can sit in to cool off or have a natural waterfall massage. You reach the bamboo forest and it is an immense jungle of only bamboo. You're hiking and unless someone told you what to expect you have no idea when this forest ends. As you are in the bamboo forest, you hear sounds of the bamboo blowing into each other. These bamboo trees are so large that when they bump into each other there is a sound like they are almost crashing to the ground. You finally reach the end of the bamboo forest and see this incredible waterfall. Don't be afraid to pass the signs and adventure to the waterfall. This is a sight that is amazing from far away but even more breathtaking up close.
