Landscape between Kahakuloa y Honokohau. Maui. Hawaii. Kahakuloa head and the smaller Pu'u Kahlui-anapa as seen from the west Maui loop road. East of Kahakuloa Village in West Maui This 636-foot high hill is situated on a point east of the sleepy town of Kahakuloa. Part of this this hill is called Kahekili's Leap. The 18th Century Maui king, Kahekili, use to spend time in this area. Legend states that before breakfast, the agile King would climb 200-feet up the hill and "leap" into the water below. There is a hiking trail located between Kahakuloa Head and the 547-foot hill to the right called Pu'u Kahuli'anapa. From here are great views of the hill towering above. Trails lead to the top of Pu'u Kahuli'anapa and Kahakuloa Head, however, the trail to the top of the Head is very treacherous. Directions: Travel east on Highway 340 past Kahakuloa Village. A short distance past Mile Marker # 14 is Kahakuloa Head on the left. Useful Information: Wear sturdy hiking shoes if you plan to walk any of these trails Carry plenty of water, wear a hat and use sunscreen if hiking. There is no shade, water, or facilities available
