When you’re on the bridge facing the waterfalls, the trail will start off on the right side of the bridge.

There is a little bit of climbing over rocks on the trail but nothing too treacherous.

 

 

It might be helpful to wear watershoes or hiking sandals though! (This can be good for the Road to Hana in general!)

Map of Wailua Falls location

Wailua Falls is located more towards the “end” of the Hana Highway when you’re doing the normal Road to Hana drive starting off by going through Paia town.

These waterfalls are actually located a little past Hana town, and you’ll find them as you’re on your way to the the coastal side (Kipahulu district) of Haleakala National Park. The coastal side of the national park is where you’ll find the famous bamboo forest of the Pipiwai Trail. So if you’re planning on hiking the Pipiwai Trail, then you can stop by Wailua Falls on your way there, or your way back.
