Real Traveler reviews for Iao Needle
More information on Iao Needle
Towering in the sky above Iao Valley, this green-covered mountain peak is one of Maui's most famous sites. It's the first picture that people take upon visiting the valley, even though most of them don't venture any closer than the parking lot. However, the base of the Needle is an excellent spot for picnicking, splashing around or hiking. Bring a lunch and a lot of mosquito repellent, and prepare to spend a few idyllic hours. Hikers, stay in the marked trails and follow basic safety rules at all times.
