Dragons Teeth hike in Maui (views!)🌴 bus + trail to Makaluapuna Point and the labyrinth 🌴 Hawaii travel blog

ALOHA!

 

The area of Dragon’s Teeth and Makaluapuna Point is yet another area to get amazing views in West Maui.

It’s located in the Kapalua area.

You will see unique formations you can see here.

They look like dragon’s teeth, I guess!

 

 

Then walk further along, and then you’ll come across some more lava rock formations.

 

 

Watch the Dragons Teeth video on youtube!

 

And along with much of this side of West Maui, this can be a great spot for whale watching from shore during whale season.

And when the sea is rough, you can watch the ocean waves crashing against the shore.

There’s a parking lot right near the start of the trail.

This can also be used as parking for the Kapalua Coastal Trail.

 

 

The trail itself is short and is considered to be an easy trail. It will take you maybe 5-10 minutes to get to the “end” which is the scenic viewpoint of Makaluapuna Point!

 

 

 

Can you get to Dragon’s Teeth by bus?

 

There is a public bus that goes to Kapalua in West Maui, the area where Dragon’s Teeth is located.

The nearest bus stop to the start of the Dragon’s Teeth Trail is around a half mile away.

So yes, it’s reasonable to get to the Dragon’s Teeth Trail by bus! It will be a direct bus with no transfers necessary if you’re coming from Kaanapali (45 minute bus ride) or from Lahaina (75 hour bus ride).

This bus route is generally once an hour, so it’s best to plan ahead and pay attention to the bus timings! (Using the Google maps public transportation option can work out perfectly.)
