Experience the Beauty and Meaning of Puohokamoa with Rappel Maui

At Rappel Maui, we don’t just guide you down waterfalls—we connect you to the culture, history, and natural beauty of this extraordinary island.

One of the highlights of our tours is Puohokamoa Stream, a breathtaking feature of Maui’s lush rainforest. But did you know its name carries a deep cultural meaning?

🌿 The Name “Puohokamoa”
In Hawaiian, “Puohokamoa” is rich with significance. Some say it reflects the echoes of cascading water, reminiscent of drumbeats or jungle fowl calls. Others believe it tells stories of ancient Hawaiian traditions and the natural life that thrives in this sacred place.

🌊 From Haleakalā to the Ocean
Puohokamoa Stream begins its journey at 5,600 feet on the northern slopes of Haleakalā. As it carves through rugged terrain, it splits into three branches, each creating stunning waterfalls. The middle branch, stretching 6.4 miles, is the longest—and the one you’ll experience with us.

When you rappel down these spectacular waterfalls, you’re not just adventuring—you’re connecting with Maui’s heart and soul.

Meet Emily-🌞 she joined Rappel Maui in December 2016, shortly after moving to the island. With a background in mountaineering and climbing, she was excited to find a job that combined working outdoors, meeting people, and learning new skills. Discovering she could rappel down waterfalls was a dream come true!

Emily’s favorite part of the job is teaching guests new skills and helping them achieve something they never thought possible, all in one of the most stunning locations on earth. She has guided guests of all ages from keiki to 80 - and advises guests to trust their guides, trust the equipment, and relax. According to Emily, “If my mom, who’s terrified of heights, can do it, so can you!”🙌

When she’s not guiding, Emily spends her time with her two little adventurers: her 4-year-old daughter and 1.5-year-old son. As a family, they love hiking, beach days, and surfing. Recently, Emily has been channeling her inner Chip and Joanna Gaines while remodeling their fixer-upper home, proving that life is an adventure both on and off the cliffs!

Meet Taylor 🌿🧗‍♀️

When you think of someone who embodies the adventurous spirit of Maui, Taylor immediately comes to mind. When she first moved to the island, she knew she wanted to spend every moment outdoors, but here's the twist—she was new to rope sports and afraid of heights.

Fast forward to today, Taylor has conquered her fears and turned them into her strengths. Working with Rappel Maui not only gave her the chance to master new skills but also the joy of teaching others, all while surrounded by Maui’s breathtaking beauty.

Now based in Atlanta, Taylor still carries Maui in her heart. The moment she steps off the plane, she heads straight to the beach, dreams of sunsets at Ho‘okipa, and dinners in Pā‘ia. That’s the kind of island love you never shake.

Taylor’s courage, warmth, and love for adventure make her an irreplaceable part of the Rappel Maui ‘ohana. She’s proof that you can overcome anything—and look amazing doing it. 💪🌺

Let’s give it up for Taylor! Drop a 🌞 to celebrate her journey and all the incredible experiences she’s shared with us and the ones to come!
