Hiking
It's easy to intermediate hike, depending on amount of mud. Hiking shoes are recommended but can be done in running or closed sandals. Waterfalls and surrounding lush forest are great but Bamboo forest took my breath away. I have never seen something like that before.
We stayed in Kipahulu camp so early morning hike was deserted. Trail becomes much busier once hordes of tourists arrive from driving Hana Rd. Enjoy and respect!
