Wai'anapanapa State Park


Wai'anapanapa State Park is located on the Hana side of Maui, Hawaii at the end of Wai'anapanapa Road off of Hana Highway. It is a three hour drive east from Kahului Airport.

The state park is a wild and remote section of island with low level volcanic cliffs that provide solitude and respite from urban living. At the park one can camp, picnic, or find lodging. There are several hiking trails that ancient Hawaiians used to use. Along these hiking trails are some fishing sports that run along the shore. It is possible to view seabirds and anchialine pools.

There is a native hala forest, religious temple, legendary cave, sea stacks, natural stone arches, blow holes and a black sand beach in the park. The state park is 122.1 acres, though there are only a few trails to walk around the park. Some of the park area is nearly unreachable. The park is always open on a daily basis. There is no entrance fee into the park either.

Facilities and services include camping, lodging, restrooms, outdoor showers, drinking water, trash cans and payphones. Guests of the park can go on the paved trails or take some of the dirt pathways.
