Digital Aloha Price: $0.00 (Mahalo for visiting!)
Beyond the Roadside View On the legendary Road to Hāna, most travelers stop briefly to admire the smaller "Lower Waikamoi" falls visible right from the road. But for those who know the island, the true magic lies upstream. This image captures the larger, majestic Upper Waikamoi Falls—a secluded sanctuary hidden from the highway.
Getting this shot wasn't a drive-by moment. We hiked back along the stream, carrying our full camera kits and heavy tripods over slick river rocks to reach this quiet cathedral of nature. The effort was rewarded with a scene of absolute stillness. We used a long-exposure technique to capture the movement of the water, turning the powerful cascade into a silky, ethereal ribbon that contrasts beautifully with the rugged, moss-covered walls.
What is the "Digital Aloha" Edition? At Ibach808, we believe the beauty of Maui is meant to be shared. We want you to carry a piece of the island with you wherever you go.
Please enjoy this complimentary Personal Digital Edition of our "Emerald Grotto" photograph. We have optimized this file specifically to look stunning on your digital devices.
Size: 2048 Pixels (Long Edge) – This is about four times the social media version size.
Best Uses: Mobile wallpapers, small prints, tablet backgrounds, screensavers, and social media sharing.
Can I print this? Yes, the license allows personal printing! However, because this is a smaller digital file, it is best suited for small prints (like 4x6 or 5x7). If you like the image and want to print larger sizes please consider purchasing the Gallery Editions linked below.
Captured with Experience, Shared with Aloha. We are Steve and Cathy, full-time Maui residents and photographers with a 30-year history of chasing light. Having spent the last 20 years documenting the Valley Isle as kamaʻaina, we don't just visit these locations; we know them. This image, like all our work, was captured by us as a team and meticulously developed from the RAW digital negative. We personally refine every detail to ensure the file you receive is a true gallery-ready masterpiece.Step into a world of serene, natural wonder along Maui's legendary Road to Hana. "Emerald Grotto" captures an intimate perspective of Waikani Falls—affectionately known as the "Three Bears." While many glimpse this spot from the road above, this image was taken from the base of the falls after hiking down a slippery path, capturing the cascades tumbling into a tranquil, emerald-green pool.
