Waihee Ridge Trail
About
Found on Maui, Waihee Ridge Trail runs off Kahekili Hwy, Wailuku, HI 96793, United States, on the island's north-western side. Cars are the main form of transport on Maui, so reaching the trailhead from the main resorts or towns is a matter of driving rather than catching a bus.
Wailuku sits close to the trail's starting point, while Lahaina, Kihei, Paia, Kaanapali, Wailea, Hana and Makawao spread across the rest of the island. A 4.8 out of 5 rating drawn from 1752 reviews makes this one of the most reviewed routes on Maui. The walk is known for its ridge-top position and the wide island views it opens up, with more at https://letsgotomaui.net/hikes/waihee-ridge-trail/.
First-time visitors should expect a proper uphill walk rather than a short stroll, and should plan around the weather. English and Hawaiian are both official languages of Hawaii, and Hawaiian words appear widely in place names along the route.
Hawaiian food includes plate lunches, poke made from raw fish, and kalua pork cooked in an imu earth oven, which makes a hearty meal after time on the trail. Hawaiian culture includes hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators, all part of the island's wider fabric. The 4.8 out of 5 score from 1752 reviews reflects how consistently walkers have rated the route.
