Seven Sacred Pools

Recorded Janaury 21, 2004. Inside the Kipahula area of Haleakala National Park lies a genuine treasure, the Seven Sacred Pools. Haleakala Park officials refer to this area as the Oheo Gulch but its commonly known by tourists as the Seven Sacred Pools In Maui. Visitors can access the Kipahula area by a ten mile drive past Hana Town via the well-known Hana Road route the Maui shoreline. Kipahula comprises both the treasured and unspoiled reserve that is restricted to visitors because of its biological sensitivity and the beautiful coastal region that is easily accessed and open to visitors. The Seven Sacred Pools are found along the coast and are considered one of the most striking natural wonders in all of Maui, Hawaii. Comprising a number of freshwater pools, which many say number much more than seven, and rushing waterfalls, when conditions are good its a great place to cool off with a lazy swim. The pools and all other freshwater is considered sacred by Hawaiians as freshwater is the connection to life. The assorted pools vary in elevation and size and are most pronounced when rainfalls are heavy.

We love visiting & exploring this area, yet it is so often called by the wrong names. The pools are correctly called the Oheo Gulch Pools in the Kipahulu District of Haleakala National Park. It is located in the Kipahulu Valley along the southeastern slope of Haleakala [Latitude: 20.66611 : Longitude: -156.04472]. Using the proper spelling / name of 'Ohe'o Gulch or 'Ohe'o Gulch Pools is a form of respect.
