The Pipiwai Trail

We left Hana early, planning to hike the Pipiwai Trail. On the way to the Seven Sacred Pools, we encountered dramatic waves on Koki Beach.

Then, pretty waterfalls:

Then over a bridge and into a bamboo forest. Very “Crouching Tiger”!

Finally, at the top of the trail, we found ourselves dwarfed by the beautiful 400-ft Waimoku Falls.
