Bamboo Forest, Hawaii, United States
4.5 (244 reviews) Spent Ranking #20 in Maui Forests
Great hike
Take a serene walk through the Bamboo Forest in Haleakala National Park along the two-mile Pipiwai Trail. You'll be led to Waimoku Falls, a gorgeous waterfall that cascades down a lava rock wall. The Bamboo Forest is often a stop on tours along the Road to Hana. If you want to experience all of the park's trails and numerous waterfalls, consider spending the night at the Kipahulu Campground by the seaside. Don't forget to issue your three-day passes by the entrance of Oheo Gulch, a requirement for visitors. It's best to arrive early in the morning for fewer crowds, especially during summer, and remember to bring enough water and bug repellent. – Tripadvisor

Awesome! worth the hike.
This forest is part of the Pippiwei trail about a mile in of a 2-mile hike. The boardwalk is built mostly through the bamboo. Awesome to sit and listen to the forest! We even saw a wild boar digging up roots. The trail can be muddy but wasn't bad when we did it in January. You will have to park at the National park and pay the $30.00 entrance fee. the trail head is on the west side of the highway. There are bathrooms at the trailhead. Be sure to use them before you leave. There is a beautiful waterfall at the end. but be careful if you go past the sign. It could be trecherous is the water flow is heavy.

Tall falls and giant bamboo
The hike up to Waimoku Falls was well worth it. The falls themselves are quite dramatic, and the bamboo forest you walk through (after a mile or so) was amazing, with bamboo close to 60' high. On the day we went it was rather breezy, and that may have kept down the mosquitoes (we encountered none) but I'm guessing that's not the usual case. The entire hike took nearly 3 hours, so only do this if you're staying in Hana overnight (which you should do anyway)!
