Twin Falls is the first of many waterfalls on our excursion today. Unbeknownst to most, there are actually three different falls in the area: Twin Falls (the smallest and closest), Rope Swing, and Caveman Falls (the larger falls farther upstream). If swimming at a waterfall is on your vacation bucket list, then this is the one place you won't want to miss!
The trail to the first falls is well-maintained, family-friendly, and a relatively easy walk from the parking lot. Caveman requires a 1.5 mile moderate hike round trip. Most people stop at Twin Falls for a picture or a quick dip in the swimming hole.
You'll also find a really great farmstand nearby selling fresh fruits and banana bread.
The entrance is to the left of the fruit stand. After passing the gate, take the first left at the cluster of bamboo trees for Twin Falls. Or continue on the trail for the other waterfall.
Hours: 8 am - 3:30 pm Daily *Closed the first Saturday of the month for Maui residents only.
Note: There is a $10 per car parking fee and parking can be very limited. Also, there is no parking or walking allowed on the road. So if the lot is full, you can try again later or come back another day.
Caution: As with all freshwater pools in Hawai'i, watch out for flash flooding. Flash floods, caused by rain in the mountains, can happen suddenly--even if it's sunny where you are. Also, beware that most freshwater streams in Hawai'i contain Leptospirosis. So avoid getting water in your eyes, nose, mouth or open sores.
