Twin Falls MauiMile-2 Road to Hana stop — two waterfalls, three swimming holes, and the only working farm stand on the route

Twin Falls sits at mile marker 2 of the Hāna Highway on the Wailele Farm — a working 80-acre fruit and flower farm in the Hoʻolawa Valley. The property has been in the same family since the 1930s; the current generation gates the road, operates the farm stand, and maintains the trail system rather than fight the steady stream of Road-to-Hana drivers who park along the highway shoulder. Entry is by donation, parking is $10 per car, and a hand-painted sign at the gate tracks the day's stream conditions.

The trail system is two separate hikes that share a trailhead. The lower-falls trail is a flat half-mile through banana, papaya, and ginger plantings, ending at a 25-foot waterfall plunging into a 10-foot-deep swimming pool. The upper-falls trail forks left after the first stream crossing and climbs another half-mile through bamboo forest to a taller, narrower fall with a smaller pool below. Both falls flow year-round but the upper pool is genuinely deep — locals jump from a shelf on the right side.

Twin Falls is the first waterfall on the Road to Hana drive, which means it absorbs the early-morning crowd and gives the rest of the route some breathing room. Plan for an hour to ninety minutes; longer if you swim. The farm stand serves fresh smoothies, sugarcane juice pressed in front of you, and a grilled banana bread that has become its own destination. Pack water shoes — both stream crossings are slick — and a microfiber towel that dries on the drive to Hāna.
