Alelele Falls is a roughly 65-foot waterfall reached by a short (about 0.4-mile round trip) hike up Alelele Gulch past the Kipahulu District of Haleakalā National Park on Maui. The unmaintained trail involves stream crossings and tall grass.
At 65 ft, it stands above roughly 50% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Alelele Stream. You'll find it in Maui, Hawaii. It is protected within State of Hawaii (Hana Highway corridor near Haleakalā NP).
This is a short hike waterfall: reached by a short trail, generally under about a mile each way. A short walk gets you to the viewpoint, so it works for most casual visitors and families. The walk to the main viewpoint runs about 0.4 miles round trip. Base a visit out of Kipahulu, the closest town.
When to go: year-round. Expect the strongest flow in spring and after big storms, with a quieter trickle by late summer; confirm current conditions with the land manager before committing to the drive.
