Twin Falls Trail

Price = Free!
Experience = It’s just Okay… not that great… if you have time to kill…

I don’t know why the call them twins?! They aren’t even the same size. It rained and was muddy out. There were hippies and kids from the wrong side of the track everywhere. My flip flop broke. The water was cold and clear; I think they bleach it. Maybe it’s a side effect of those monsantos. The waterfalls were too loud and a mosquito bit me. I’m pretty sure I caught an std from one of the tree huggers. Oh, and don’t expect to use a bathroom. Gross, just gross. Who ever made this place is a idiot.

I’ve been here many times… But today is my bday, and it was sadly closed… Boooooooo!!!

The best part of this is that there is parking and an easy, paved trail to the falls. You enter past the fruit stand and it’s a short walk. Unfortunately the upper falls is closed so it makes it difficult to access the falls and enter the waters. It’s private property and the gracious enough to let visitors access the falls.

This trail was one of me and my wife’s favorites while on our honeymoon.
Upon parking at the small lot, you are met by a cone dressed up as a lady (looks way funnier/​cooler than it sounds lol!). There’s also a snack truck at the entrance that sells all sorts of goodies from banana bread to young coconuts to star fruit and red bananas to fresh Maui Gold pineapples!
The hike itself isn’t that strenuous and takes you through lush vegetation and a flowing creek. I recommend packing the water shoes as they will come in handy when you need to walk through the creek. At the end of the trail you reach the falls and the cool running water/​pool accompanying it. If you are a good swimmer and can take deep water, I recommend swimming around. Otherwise, I’d stick to the perimeter to ensure you’re in shallow waters. Also, the falls are more forceful than you’d think looking at it, so be prepared if you decide to swim in it!

Such a beautiful place. Make sure to hike all the way to the back end, there is a beautiful fall and a large swimming pond!

Out of all the amazing places you can stop and explore along the Hana Highway, this was our least favorite. The journey along the Hana Highway takes about a day, and there are so many other great places to enjoy along the way, don’t waste your time here. The falls here are nothing compared to what you are about to see further along in your journey. After seeing the other cascading falls, this place seems very uninspiring. It is also the most crowded.

Easy hike to get to different waterfalls. Make sure you explore all the different trails. Depending on weather conditions, certain trails/​waterfalls will be Closed.
1) don’t forget bug spray
2) there are porta pity’s
3) food stand at the entrance with snacks
4). I forgot shoes and did okay with flip
Flops.

It was a beautiful, easy hike… for the 30 minutes we were there. :(The rest of the path was closed off due to, I guess, rain or winter weather? Boohoo. The disappointment was real as this was my only planned hike during the trip to get my fitness on.
We did get to see the water and take photos; it was definitely a beautiful nature stroll. But still, it just ended up being an easy and quick stop. Sigh, maybe next time if I ever return to Maui.

Loved twin falls — great and easy to get to
If you want a moderate sized waterfall that you can swim in. If you go here make sure to take a left right after the portapottys — the main waterfall is straight up which is the direction the majority of people are going but a great medium sized waterfall and waterhole is just to the left of the portapottys … Just follow the dirt trail down the slope. You can actually go behind the waterfall if you want there is a small over hang. Great for taking pictures under a waterfall

Love this trail! Second time coming here. First time was with the parentals lol and I actually enjoyed it because the hike wasn’t too intense. Nature itself is just so beautiful in Hawaii and I really enjoyed looking at the different plants that they had here as well as the waterfalls. I did not jump in the waterfall area nope. But other people did. I’m not ballsy enough lol. They also have some refreshments such as coconut water and some fruit in the front to buy!

Awesome trail! We loved it, I read the previous reviews and wore some water shoes, as people were suggesting, so glad we did. Its about a 20min walk to the water fall, but before that there are paths with rocks and water that are lovely but my friend lost her flip flop. I saw people going with regular clothes, do not do this, be ready to get wet, there are no accomodations for you to change or anything, just rocks.
Other than that just enjoy your time wslking and taking a bath on the water fall. You won’t regret it.
Tips: take bug spray with you and get some banana bread at the fruit stand!

Beautiful trail for all skill levels. Very easy walk. Parts can be muddy and rocky. Wearing water shoes or trail sandals will help.
This is a beautiful place. I hope it stays that way. The sign says leave only your foot prints, so do it! If you see some trash pick it up and pack it out.
The falls are amazing. The water is refreshing and good for swimming. The falls are powerful so be sure of your ability.
Bug repellent is necessary, but since this is a beautiful natural resource, non impact products should be used. I used an essential oil natural rosemary/​lemon grass repellent and I don’t have any bites. Also mineral sunscreen will help protect the environment if you plan on swimming as chemical sunscreens are toxic to the ecosystem.
Bring cash because the popsicles are so good and refreshing. We also bought cut pineapple and sugar cane juice. A special island treat to enjoy on our way down the Hana highway.
Also, thieves know that tourists frequent this location. So don’t leave anything in your car and lock it up! This goes for all hiking stops.

CLOSED: due to the rain and flash flood threat. So sad! Was only able to go to the bottom part of the creek. Not sure if there’s a way to check ahead of time if the trail is closed.
OTHER: other than being closed and not being able to see the water falls, you do see exotic flowers and fruit along the way.
FRUIT: Fruit stand offered some solace by buying a drinking coconut. They also offer eating coconuts. I wish the coconuts were chilled but still a nice touristy treat to sip coconut juice from a big green coconut $ 6.
SHOES: Dirt path that has mud in some spots so definitely wear water shoes. Some people here say wear tennis shoes and change into water shoes later but in my opinion just wear water shoes the whole time and save the weight of having to carry another pair of shoes. Unless your feet are super sensitive to rocks then the water shoes will be just fine. Walmart sells water shoes for $ 3-​$ 10 very cheap. I wouldn’t recommend flip flops because they can easily get stuck in mud and pull out the straps then you’re really screwed!
PARKING: luckily we found parking out front and like someone else said it makes sense to park near the fruit stand to avoid potential robbers.
BUGS: I sprayed my clothes and exposed skin all over with OFF spray just to find this trail was closed but the short time I was there I didn’t get bitten. I also wore long pants and long sleeves. My friends who wore shorts got bitten a couple of times so if you’re like me with yummy blood then you may want to wear long pants and sleeves to be safe. Lighter colors are supposed to be best.
I would like to come back and try this trail again when there isn’t a flash flood threat.

The Twin Falls Trail is a beautiful scenic activity that is completely free to enjoy!
Tip: Bring sneakers for the trail and water shoes/​sandals if you plan on swimming in the waterfall pool (which I highly recommend).
The walk to the waterfall is about a mile hike through the Maui jungle. It’s fairly easy, no long spurts of uphill or downhill walking. There is a lot of beautiful Hawaiian flowers, trees and plants along the hike.
In order to get to the waterfall, you have to walk across a narrow concrete bridge and walk over the rocks in the creek. This is where the water shoes come in. I made the mistake of walking through the creek barefoot– big mistake! The rocks were sharp and coarse and my feet were in pain during the walk. However, the pain was totally worth it. The pool was extremely refreshing and it was so exciting to swim to the waterfall. The pool is at least 5 feet deep by the waterfall, so don’t attempt this unless you can swim! We spent about 35 minutes swimming. It was an amazing experience. I would do it again (with water shoes) in a heartbeat!

If you enjoy swimming around waterfalls and hiking through the beautiful Maui jungle then this place is a must. It is on the road to Hana and is easy to find if you follow the Unilocal directions. The entrance is beside a fruitstand. There are also portable toilets available.
There are two falls– the first is easily accessible, and the second is further down the path and requires walking across stones and wading through the water. Water shoes and mosquito repellent really help. Great place for a short day trip! :)

I enjoy hiking and this one is great for nearly everyone. The beginning of the trail is really wide and easy to handle. It gets a tiny bit tricky when crossing the streams to get to the final two waterfalls. I recommend wearing flip-​flops or water shoes.
Beautiful tropical foliage and a nice, simple hike.

What you need to bring:
— flip-​flops or water shoes (you probably don’t need to wear hiking shoes)
— mosquito repellent/​spray
— cash for the fruit stand at the entrance
I came back with 10 new mosquito bites, even though I used a bug repellent towelette :(so you probably want to bring mosquito repellent/​spray on this trip.
The free hike is a good 15 minute walk that isn’t too strenuous. It’s a nice short walk through the forest before you reach the falls. It was my mistake to wear hiking shoes, because you will need to walk in the water about knee deep to actually reach the falls. Otherwise, you’re stuck admiring the falls from a dry and hot distance.
On the walk back, I saw a chameleon in the middle of the road! Pretty awesome :)
Fruit stand:
I ordered a freshly-​pressed sugar cane juice drink, which was DELICIOUS! $ 5 for a small cup, but very refreshing on the way back out :) You can even sample their coconut candy and coconut chips, which were also pretty unique and delicious.

Fantastic spot for a quick hiking trip! It is just down the road from the airport. There is one fall about a 7 minute walk in and the bigger picturesque fall another 15 minutes further.
It is a very easy trail and is great for people of all ages and fitness levels. There is one spot where you have to cross over a bed of rocks in water so bring shoes that are easy to take on and off.

It takes like 25 minutes to trek to the actual falls.
Tons of foliage and dope Hawaiian plants to peep as you stroll by.
Don’t be touchin and pickin at these plants, homie.
It’s not easy to get into the pool under the falls which you can chill in.
No joke… I’m in flip flops, not hikers, brah.
Mahalo.
