Makahiku Falls, 200-foot horsetail waterfall in Haleakalā National Park, Maui, Hawaii

Makahiku Falls is a 200-foot (61 m) horsetail waterfall in Haleakalā National Park on Maui, Hawaii. It drops along the Ohe'o Gulch stream, and the Pipiwai Trail leads to it.

Makahiku Falls lies in the Kipahulu district of Haleakalā National Park, on the island of Maui. The Kipahulu section was added to the park to protect the Ohe'o Gulch stream and its waterfalls, which the Pipiwai Trail follows upstream past Makahiku.

Makahiku means "many eyes" in Hawaiian, and the falls mark the upper end of the Ohe'o Gulch stream in the Kipahulu district of Haleakalā National Park. Visitors reach the overlook on the Pipiwai Trail, the same route that continues to the bamboo forest and the pools downstream.

The route to the waterfall begins near mile marker 42 on Highway 31 and follows the Pipiwai Trail for about half a mile. Wear sturdy shoes as parts of the path are steep and can be muddy after rain.

The trail passes through thick bamboo groves that create an unexpected Asian forest environment within the Hawaiian landscape. This unusual setting developed because bamboo species were introduced and thrived in the humid mountain climate.
