Maunawili Falls

Maunawili Falls is a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the jungle. The water first flows down a rocky path and then cascades into the pool below, where you can go for a swim. The main trail is closed at the moment, but the waterfall can still be reached via other trails (e.g. from Pali Highway).

The jungle on the Maunawili Falls Trail is beautiful. However, you have to be careful because the path is full of roots and often slippery. You have to cross the stream several times. You should also not go swimming with open wounds, since the water can contain leptospirosis bacteria.

Main trail is closed now, but still reachable via side trails from Pali. Great 10 foot jumps into deep pool. Side cliffs can be jumps of 35 feet but water is deep and boulder free. The hike down from the main trail is very steep and muddy.
