Acid War Zone Trail

Great little walk/hike. Terrain is rough but not too bad. Do not be afraid to explore. Lots of awesome rock formations to see. Wear walking shoes if you can as some of the rocks are sharp and you could easily get hurt. The blow hole was awesome. Make sure you have time to hang out to watch the blow hole. Sometimes it takes a minute to get a good blast of water.No Coke served here

Amazing hike thats out of this world! The mist from the blow hole has eaten away at the rocks over thousands of years so it feels like walking through an alien acid war zone. Follow the Jeep path until you reach the beacon (lighthouse like thing), hike down the hill to the right of the beacon, turn right at the bottom, then adventure through the acid war zone rocks until you reach the Nakalele blowhole. (Theres a smaller blowhole thats kinda in the side of a cliff - dont let that one fool you, and keep going until you reach the real one)

This trail feels like youre walking on the moon. Huge jagged pumice volcanic statues, fields of grass, hidden blowholes, incredible views, and waves exploding 20 in the air against the rocks. Go even if its raining... Totally worth it!

This is an amazing place. The area leads into the Nakalele Blowhole area but not before going through an area straight out of Land of The Lost.

This was an outstanding get away. Just driving to this spot had great views. Once there the hike wasnt that difficult but Im an avid adventurer. My mother in law had a difficult time so older couples should be careful but can still make it. So cool, views, rocks, terrain and the ocean, not to mention the couple of blow holes

The whole family had a great time exploring these trails, almost 5, 9, and 11 year olds. Lots of short trails to check out, steep hills to run up and down, muddy streams to jump over, and beautiful scenery all around.I would definitely go back. The drive from Kapalua is gorgeous, with various scenic overlooks and trails down to the different bays.

This was an absolutely beautiful hike!

Easy level trail mostly walked by retirees. With my inlaws, so worked perfect for our group.

Amazing hiking spot... This is a great Maui spot lived here for a year finally went and saw...

Beautiful, tranquil location about 20 minutes drive from the Kaanapali resorts. Makes you feel connected with nature. Make friends with other visitors and locals selling fresh coconuts, breads, jelly, homemade dried fruits. Take the drive, it will be memorable! Leave with a calm and inner peace that is unattainable in city living!!!

Beautiful views, and be sure to hit up the banana bread stand for some female only banana bread (no nuts)

We didnt do the full trail, just a bit of the start where you have e a nice view of the bay. Its very peaceful as not too many people were here when we came, so we enjoyed a quiet snack of fresh fruit we purchased in Honokohau Bay. Pretty location, not far from Nakalele Blowhole though the trail will take you there.There was a little stand in the parking area on the side of the road called Julias Banana Bread, but we didnt try them. They were selling banana bread, some drinks, and some fruit.

Beautiful place to see and experience the views.

One of my favorite spots for taking pictures

Nice little spot not over crowded. Very interesting maze down by the cliffs. Beautiful view!

To Die For views that you will die for if you get close to the edge .Be careful and get back to the otherside of the mountain BEFORE sunset!!!!!Real Talk.

Lots of parking. Easy to stay on a trail if when leaving the parking lot towards the ocean you bear right and follow the jeep trails. Under 2 miles roundtrip

Great turnout with amazing views! You dont even need to hike to it, maybe 100ft from the highway!

Challenging. Not the first hike you should do when coming to the island. Work up to this. But then do it! It was fascinating and such a great experience.

Super cool hiking area to explore while all other tourists go to the blowhole. This hike gives great coastline views and views of a smaller blowhole and the bigger tourist filled one. Definitely wear shoes as theres some loose dirt hills that would be tough in sandals.

Absolutely worth it to take this trail down to the blow hole. The walk down was better then the blow hole itself. It is not as busy and you can get lost in the landscape. Trail was not as well marked and it is easy to get off course.

Great view, but pretty dangerous on a windy day!

Fun hike

Nice hike some climbing great views!

Trails run in lots of directions so it can be hard to follow. Bring the right footwear, a map, and water. Great views.

Great hiking experience. Wonderful views of cliffs and coastline. Very serene.

Very natural area with no warning signs or fences. Be careful!!

Very very scenic like most places in Maui

Awesome! Stay on two lane do not try to make it to the village. It is one lane in and one lane out.

Great place to take a small hike/walk with plenty of beautiful scenery.

This is a pretty strenuous hike. Be prepared. There are no signs, paths, guardrails, etc. But the reward is a totally natural and totally amazing experience of the power of nature. You will fumble around trying to figure out which way to go. But that’s part of the adventure.

Fascinating terrain and the ocean is pristine. Not a difficult hike, but not easy. Can be slippery. No shade, so bring water!

Hawaii is breathtaking Maui that is

Beautiful and serene, enjoyed our time here and will return.

Take good shoes.

Got a great passion fruit lemonade from magic man and headed out on this scenic trail to the blow hole. This area seems to be an off road vehicle track for the locals, so theres multiple paths going every which way, which can be confusing. If you head in a general NE direction and head uphill when you can it doesnt matter what path you take, youll get there. Totally worth it!

Breath taking, for real!

Your car will get broken into if you have any valuables visible. We were gone for 20 minutes and once we got back we had most of our stuff stolen.

Lots of nice view s

Absolutely amazing! Fairly easy terrain and takes you over to the blow hole.

Beautiful sights, be careful going down to the blowholes the rocks are slippery especially when wet. We went from the small blow hole then North to the larger one. Worth the hike!

This was an amazing landscape full of interesting rock formations accompanied by incredible views of the raging ocean and shoreline. The blowhole was going pretty good the day we went. There is a lot of scrambling over rocks going up and down the hillside so wear appropriate shoes. I wore hiking sandals.

Beautiful views. Easy hike

Cool moonscape of Lava Rock surrounding blow hole area.

Very beautiful.

Short, but steep lava hike. Like the moon.

You got to go there. Not that difficult of the hike and it is so worth it.

Done this trek twice, this time with kids so we didnt go to the ocean side blow hole. We went up top to the ridge which is directly up from the blowhole and got a great view.Its always windy there. Lots of surf so theblowhole was jumping. We cooled off with some awesome lemonade and banana bread from Julias which was in the parking lot.

Really neat area, definitely be prepared with sturdy footwear as there are some loose sediment regions as well as rough rocky areas. We initially didnt realize we were on a designated trail as we made our way towards the Nakalele Blowhole.What was extra exciting, but also slightly frightening, was the wind and rainstorm that rushed in while we were up there. The view was so breathtaking with the multicoloured sediment and rock juxtaposed with the ocean and sky. We were no longer interested making the rest of the way to the blowhole because this trail had us entranced.

Pretty cool short trail. Beautiful, terrifying ledges. Dont let kids run ahead.... roads north of here are intense.

A nice unique rock cliff thats walking distance from the blow hole...

Quite a unique place to visit. Definitely worth the visit! Views you simply can not get anywhere else

Great easy trail to the blowhole. Recommend shoes instead of sandals though.Parts are unmarked, with multiple trails converging but just keep heading right when facing the ocean and you get there.

There are NO trail markings. Before you go, load offline maps in Google and also check the satellite view to know the hiking path. Parking lot is small, just enough for ten cars. The trail is somewhat predictable up to half way, because of tire marks from ATV(?). That leads you to an old steel tower. After that, you will have to scramble down through an area of small rocks. The blowhole is visible only when you are very close to it. The hike is not tough, but wear closed-toe shoes. The blowhole is interesting. Kept blowing for a height of 20 feet while we were there.

Nothing special compared to other places, all though the view was breathtaking.

This trail is poorly marked as a way to see the Nakalele Blowhole, but probably the better way to get there. Follow a deeply rutted dirt road (lots of mud puddles) leading to the east to what suddenly looks like you landed on Mars. Make your way down a lava rock stream bed then bear right. Youll pass lots of people wondering if they are going the right way. Also a minor blow hole and youll wonder if thats it. ( It isnt) If you havent found a vent where geysers shoot 30 ft in the air every 60-90 seconds keep going. Wear good shoes too, the cross between muddy paths and slippery rocks can be problematic.

Nice views of the blowhole. Wear good sturdy shoes as the rock can be wet and very slick.

There are some nice views, but there isnt much in terms of a marked path, so its not worth it to try to hike here.

Great views, cool geography but not well marked.

Beautiful views

So awesome views were amazing Its a must stop.

The blow horn was amazing to see and experience for the first time.

Nice hike.

Such a great adventure... Careful most if the road is one lane

Worth the drive!

Great way to see the blow hole

Beautiful views. Hiking trails for the sure footed.

The best way to get to Nakalele Blowhole -- on the day we went, the Acid War Zone trail was much more interesting than the blowhole itself.

Great trails and spectacular views.
