Tree Tunnel
About
Tree Tunnel in Kauai runs along 520 Maluhia Rd, Koloa, HI 96756, on the island's south side. The tree-lined stretch of road sits between Lihue and the Koloa and Poipu area, making it a natural passage for drivers heading to the south shore. As an attraction, Tree Tunnel is a landmark that visitors pass through rather than a site with opening hours.
Tree Tunnel is known for the canopy of trees arching over the roadway, a sight that has drawn 379 reviews and a 4.6 out of 5 rating. First-time visitors should expect to drive through rather than stop, since the route is a working road used by local traffic. Photographs are best taken from a parked position rather than from the carriageway.
Reaching Tree Tunnel from the main resorts and towns is easy by car: Lihue lies to the northeast, while Poipu, Koloa and Waimea sit to the south and west. Kapaa, Princeville, Hanalei and Kilauea are further afield on the island's other coasts.
Trade winds blow from the northeast across Hawaii, bringing most rain to the windward coasts, so the south shore around Koloa often stays drier. Cars are the main form of transport on the Hawaiian islands, and the larger islands run public bus services, which makes a self-drive route the practical way to see the tunnel. Humpback whales migrate to Hawaiian waters to breed between roughly November and May.
