Maui Part 4

The next morning we woke up and headed to see Seven Sacred Pools and hike Pipiwai trail. Our first stop was a quick stop off the side of the road to see Wailua Falls.

Pictures don't do Seven Sacred Pools justice - the water runs right out to the ocean.


Pipiwai Trail was the longest hike we went on (4 miles total) and it featured two waterfalls, a bamboo forest, and a banyan tree. We loved it!




This was the waterfall at the end of the hike - the tallest one we saw and so pretty!

We cooled off underneath the falls before heading back.

It was around lunch when we headed back to Hana - we picked up lunch and dinner to go at Bruddah Huts BBQ because everything in Hana closes around 4 pm and we didn't want to feel rushed later that day. We really liked their food! Then headed to Hamoa Beach for a lazy afternoon.

On the way back to our VRBO, we stopped to see Venus Pool. This was on the little walk/hike to get there!


One of my favorite moments of the trip was stopping at this little fruit stand in the evening, trying all of the fruit, and talking to the local there. It was late enough that most tourists had left that were just making Hana a day trip. It is hard to believe that this tiny, jungly, town with locals that mostly live off the land is still part of the US!

We crashed hard and early that evening and woke up the next morning for our last day in Maui. (We had a red eye that left at 9:50 pm and we were joking that we weren't sure how we were going to stay awake that long since we had been going to bed so early! haha) But seriously, it was kind of hard lol.
Our first stop that morning was Black Sand Beach - it was one of my favorite places we went to! It was gorgeous and we kind of went crazy on the picture taking!








cool cave


After Black Sand Beach, we went to Red Sand Beach. The views from the hike to Red Sand Beach weren't too bad either ;)

We headed back to our VRBO to shower and check out by 11. We stopped at Ho'okipa Beach in Paia to see the turtles laying out on the beach, ate at Paia Fish Market, then headed to Iao Valley. It was so pretty!


Spencer was going for the slimming knee pop look ;)'

We still had more time before we needed to head back to the airport so we decided to go back to Ho'okipa beach to say goodbye to the turtles one last time :) Sunset was so pretty and we even saw a ray!



Maui was soooo amazing and I can't wait to go back again some day!
