The Road to Hana pt. 2: Cliff Jumping

It's not for everyone. Leaping over a precipice, freefalling for several seconds, then crashing deep into the water. If cliff jumping is your thing, however, there's no shortage of places to jump off of in east Maui.

Red Sand Cove

As Adam swam to shore after his leap, the Hawaiian Monk Seal which had been resting on the beach chose that same moment to swim back to sea, unbeknownst to him at the time.

They passed within 10 ft. of each other. Waimoku Falls

Scott took a 50 ft. plunge into a pool on the way up to the waterfall.

Venus Pool

The 20 ft. jump from the island was nothing after the initial 40 ft. jump into the pool. Charlie dove in with his fractured scaphoid. Notice the orange cast.

The world record for cliff jumping is 172 ft. The maximum safe distance is about 100 ft. As they say, the only way to go is up.
