Tips for hiking the Bamboo Forest on Maui.

What you need to hike to the Bamboo Forest, Maui

  1. Good hiking shoes – Ones you don’t mind getting muddy.
  2. Hat – Most of the trail is shady, but I was glad to have this type hat for rain. It kept my head dry in a light shower.
  3. Sunglasses
  4. Sunscreen – take extra on your hike; you’ll be gone for at least 2-3 hours.
  5. Bugspray – take extra on your hike just in case. The mosquitoes can be fierce.
  6. Disposable rain poncho – in case you are caught in a real downpour. You are, after all, hiking through a RAIN forest.
  7. Water – more than 16 oz per person. In other words, more than one water bottle.
  8. Energy Snacks – check out my list of special Hawaii treats to eat in Maui [link] and take along some of them!
  9. Camera – of course.
  10. Long pants – if the mosquitoes are bad, you’ll be glad you’re not wearing shorts!
