Wall of Tears
As close as you can get to the second wettest spot on earth. As many as 17 waterfalls flowing at once. Legend has it that the god’s poked their fingers into the sides of the cliffs to create this illusion of “crying”. There are no visible tributaries to these aquatic wonders.

Blow Hole (Highway 30 - West Maui)
Maui’s incredible Nakalele Blowhole offers dramatic views of surf spraying up through the shoreline lava tube. The blow holes activity varies with the tides. Blowholes are created when the pounding ocean undercuts a shoreline lava shelf. A hole in the lava shelf causes a geyser like effect. When the surf is just right, it forces water up through the hole as high as a hundred feet into the air.

Maui’s blowhole is about 1200 feet from the highway. Hiking trails lead to the blowhole but you can see the geyser effect before you reach the shoreline.

Kahakuloa
The landmark shoreline hill of Kahakuloa is 636 feet high and situated on a point just east of the town of Kahakuloa. King Kahekili's Leap is located on Kahakuloa hill. The 18th Century Maui King Kahekili spend time in this area. Legend states that in the early mornings, the agile King would climb up the hill and "leap" into the ocean below.
