On your way back, we'll pass the trailhead for Waioka, also known as Venus Pools.
This hidden gem features a cool waterfall, swimming hole, and opportunity to cliff jump.
While it looks idyllic, you should know that Waioka poses several dangers such as a steep and slippery trail, harmful bacteria in the water, risk of injury from cliff jumping, and dangerous flash floods. Tragically, people have been severely injured and some have even died at this location.
If you decide to go, you visit the pools at your own risk. Remember, if it has rained recently, looks like rain, or is starting to get dark, you should definitely skip this spot.
NOTE: East Maui Ready has issued an advisory against visiting Waioka for the safety concerns stated above. They encourage visitors to only visit places in East Maui that are open to the public or managed by state and federal parks. In addition, there is no parking near the trailhead. Please respect the "No Parking" signs.
