Hiking 7 Sacred Pools on Maui



We generally travel to Hawaii every year for our vacation although this year we're thinking Belize. We have had some amazing adventures free diving on (off) Maui. We were so lucky to have had the opportunity to swim with a pod of wild dolphins on our last trip. We had to swim out about 50 yards to join them and spent 90 minutes with them.

I can still close my eyes and see them.
Silent. Blue. Calm.

Another favorite place on Maui is Hana. Most people drive there and back to the west side in one day but we spend a few days there. It is more Hawaiian there. Most tourists are gone by 3:00. Seven Sacred Pools is a beautiful place where you can hike to a waterfall. Typically, most visitors don't get further than 100 yards from their car so the hike is another opportunity to experience Hawaii virtually alone. You have to hike through a bamboo forest to get to the waterfall and it is enchanting! This picture was taken half in and half out of that forest.
