Hele Wai Eco Tours!! Really, unless you want to hike 15 miles round trip, and then you lose the Kevins fantastic narration. Gorgeous and important piece of Mauis watershed.
There is no arboretum!!! Unless you like hiking a lot...dont go looking. I followed the Mahana Ridge trail for 3 hrs...until it ended. There was no arboretum. Its an ancient island myth!!!
Hiked this two weeks ago, the top is suffering from the rain, heavy canopy and dropping fruit has created a very very buggy climb at top levels. So it was overgrown and muddy but doable from DT Fleming parking lot. The pass thru tree at the beginning tipped off the edge because of the heavy rains this year, sadly this gorgeous feature is no longer. Glad I came before!
Not accessible unless you hike the Mahana Ridge Trail for a 17 mile round trip (very difficult) or you own a mansion in Plantation Estates. There is a guardhouse that does not let you through to drive up, unless you live there. Essentially, they have privatized this Arboretum.
Great place to visit.
Shuttle service no longer runs to this location. Finding it requires great directions and a hell of a hike.
Nice hike and visit....love Maui
Rode through here on horseback. Great views.
You might get wet, but this hike is well worth the effort.
Mahana Ridge trail is currently washed out, and you cant access it from the gated estates as the guards will not let you through, effectively privatizing it.
