Kīpahulu Visitor Center Hana, HI 96713

"Since i drove the Road to Hana, i decided to make it to this southern portion of Halakeala National Park. So worth it. The 2 mile (one way) to reach Waimoku Falls was also an unplanned treat for me as the trail passes thru the Bamboo Forest."

"This is the other side of the National park when you drive to Hana road. Definitely recommend this place if you are driving to Hana. You don’t need any reservations at this side. Entrance pass can be bought here which is useful for the next day if you want to go to the Valcano side of National Park. The ocean side of this park is beautiful. There are two hikes one is the difficult one because of the muddy trail to see the water fall and bamboo forest and other one is a small easy walk trail where you see the ocean view both are good. But make sure that you have another pair of shoes."

"Always nice to visit Haleakala NP - Kipahulu when riding to Hana. Lindbergh's grave is a short distance away too. Both are very peaceful places. They've recently re-opened the Backside Road to Ulupalakua. Demanding ride but shows you what roads they had to deal with in the not too distant past."

"If you are doing the Hana road don't miss this beautiful park at the end of the road. The gardens are spectacular (lots of Hala trees) and the view of the shores is astonishing. We also hiked up to the waterfall that I highly recommend (about 3 miles return trip)."

"Came here at about 8:30am. There was lots of parking. The washrooms were clean. Good pit stop before the hike. $30 entrance fee. Remember to keep the receipt if you plan to go to Haleakala Summit. Valid for 3 days."
