Marvel at the Seven Sacred Pools on Maui
What Are the Seven Sacred Pools?
The Seven Sacred Pools are some of the most magnificent and iconic waterfalls on Maui! They’re located on East Maui along the Kipahulu Coastline in the heart of Haleakala National Park. Picture a scenic rainforest with cascading waterfalls plunging into pools, then emptying into the mesmerizing North Pacific ocean.

The Seven Sacred Pools are also “Ohe’o Gulch,” Haleakala National Park Kipahulu. However, the proper name for this incredible collection of waterfalls is “Ohe’o” (pronounced Oh-Hey-Oh).
Exploring Haleakala National Park
Since the waterfalls are inside Haleakala National Park, you’ll have to pay the entrance fee. Admission to the park is $15 and allows you to enter for three days. If you’re planning on visiting for longer than that or wish to explore more of Maui’s wonders, consider purchasing an annual park pass. This pass costs $25 and grants you access to both Haleakala National Park, the volcanoes, and Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Parks on the Big Island.
Can You Swim in the 7 Sacred Pools
The 2-mile Pipiwai Trail inside the park is perfect if you want to go on a hike and see more of the stunning wonders around you. Witness a breathtaking bamboo jungle and dramatic cliffs. Then, bathe in the two lower pools and find a nice spot to share a picnic with your loved ones! Note that swimming is strictly prohibited at the Seven Pools but not along the Pipiwai Trail. Be on the lookout for wet rocks!
