Upper Waikani Falls, nicknamed Three Bears, is a set of three side-by-side falls about 70 feet tall just past mile marker 19 on the Road to Hana on Maui. The falls are visible from the road, and a short steep scramble leads down to the pool at the base.
At 70 ft, it stands above roughly 54% of the 775 documented falls in this guide.
Its water comes from Wailua Nui Stream. You'll find it in Maui, Hawaii. It is protected within State of Hawaii (Hana Highway corridor).
This is a roadside waterfall: visible from a road, parking area, or a walk of a few hundred feet. Because it sits right off the road, it makes an easy stop on a longer trip and works for visitors with limited time or mobility. Base a visit out of Hana, 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.
