Lower Puohokamoa Falls Lower Puohokamoa Falls is one of those waterfalls that you just have to know it's there or else you're going to miss it.  . But in order to get a decent look at it, we had to work a little bit.The first time I saw this waterfall, I overlooked the informal trail that went past the wired fences to get a better look. So I ended up with a rather sorry view even though the falls was in full flow at the time. All subsequent times that I saw the falls, it had much lower flow, but at least the view was more satisfying (see photo above or last photo on this page). I never had a situation where the falls was gushing and I got to see it from the proper viewing spots. Maybe I'm due one of these days... Speaking of which, this waterfall seemed to me to be usually either thin or trickling. Even though East Maui had been usually rainy during my visits, it only took two days to go from the gushing flow you see in one of the photos below to the thin waterfall you see in the last photo below.
