Hike Maui, East Maui Rainforest & Waterfall Hike - Tom Barefoot's Tours |
Today we went out with Hike Maui on their East Maui Rainforest and Waterfall hike. We met at Kahului to jump in their van for the ride out to the rain forest. Once there we embarked on a hike up a valley by a series of pools and waterfalls. Our guide, Troy was very knowledgeable about the different plant life that we passed as well as local geology and climatology. We made our way through the jungle and stopped to eat guava and lilikoi (passion fruit). We chewed Kava leaf and learned a variety of uses for many of the plants that we past along the way. At the top of our hike was a beautiful jungle pool with a waterfall flowing into it that we were even able to take a swim inside of. Spending the day exploring the rainforest with Troy and Hike Maui was an adventure that was also quite educational.
