I am surprised there are so few reviews about this bamboo forest that is part of the Pipiwai Trail. It was so wonderful to be in the midst of this incredible growth. It really is a photographer's dream. I highly recommend good walking shoes as there are a lot of tripping hazards such as roots and rocks. Take water too,... More

The bamboo forest was a surprise to myself and my family on our hike to the Maimoku falls. My family consists of my wife and two teenage daughters. The forest is larger and taller than I could have imagined. The trail twists and turns. The path is magical in the sense that the light is constantly changing (shining through the... More

Bamboo forest is one of my favorite hikes to do here on the islands. Its a fairly mild hike with some hills and climbs. Highlights are the many waterfalls, dark bamboo forest and free hawaii fruits like strawberry guavas which grow in abundance during season. Also for those trailblazers you can also hike down a huge tree down the side... More

This is part of the Haleakala National Park hikes. To get there you drive the road to Hana, pass Hana, then get to the park. The hike is not terribly long to get to the forest and it's incredibly beautiful and unique. Well worth the trip. More

When on the Hana road, be sure not to miss the mystical walk through the bamboo forest...I was taken a back upon entering as I did not know what to expect...and I was amazed. Not only will you walk amongst these beautiful trees...but as well...pass by waterfalls and beautiful pools at the bottom of each. For sure...a stop/hike you should... More

We have two 17 year olds with us and they like challenge and experiences you cannot get anywhere else. This was IT! Just past Twin Falls on the Road to Hana you will notice a bamboo thicket on your right. Park roadside. Bring solid shoes you can afford to ruin as the red dirt and mud may be along the... More

So many people take the road to Hanna and miss the BEST part of the trip: the mystical hike through this bamboo forest. Some folks are lucky enough to hear about the hike that begins a few miles past Hanna leading to the waterfall. BUT, way too many come to the first tiny waterfall, think they made the destination and... More

If you are driving out to Hana, think about staying overnight so you can take the Bamboo Forest hike. About 8 miles past Hana, in Haleakala National Park, (near the so-called Seven Pools), park in the parking area, and cross the road to the uphill trail. Parts are steep, but the bridges across waterfalls and gorges provide amazing views as... More

Travelled with some locals to the Bamboo Forest...lots of mud...hanging from bamboo...climbing up to 3 different falls with pools for swimming and hanging out. Definitely one of the best adventures on the island! More
