This was one of the cool stops while staying on Maui a couple years ago. Read about it in the "Maui Revealed" book, but there was hardly anyone out there (except for a lone couple being married!). It was serene and peaceful, not to mention just plain cool to look at. Made for fun picture-taking. We didn't see anyone playing golf when we walked out, but yes, you do cross a small part of course. I wanted to sneak into the nearby Ritz Carlton to check it out, but my boyfriend doesn't get quite as excited as me about fancy places ... so we passed. But Dragon's Teeth is rad! read more

In the quest to see any and everything in our short weekend in Maui we stopped here not realizing there were blowholes. Of course I was drenched by 2 at once, my camera was the only thing that didn't get wet! I loved it here! It was so much fun and so beautiful. There were lines of photographers with tripods and the works taking pictures of sunset. The lava formations here are beautiful the way they jut up from the strength of the ocean. The waves are enormous as well as they hit the rock. It's really easy to get to/see from the golf area parking lot. There weren't any golfers when we came down for sunset. You do have to walk across the golf course to get to the lava rock, though. read more

Definitely a cool place to explore. You need to be careful if you plan on getting close to the edge. Saw a few crosses which reminds you to be extra cautious. Cool spot to snap a few pics and take in the views. read more

Nice trail along ocean with a good breeze and view. trail is hidden pass the golf course and residential housing. just follow the people or look at map, limited golf course parking available near entrance of trail. near the honolulu general store for souvenirs, food, snacks, etc. read more

Beautiful, otherworldly rockscape! Park by the church at the Ritz Carlton and walk along the shrubs just outside the golfing area. There's a little path there to guide towards Dragon's Teeth. Wear sunscreen!!! read more

The ride here was longer than this walk, stroll, hike,...I think this should be categorized as a scenic view rather than a hike. From the parking lot just follow the signs that's says no walking jogging blah blah blah and jus as long as you don't side track and follow smaller trails on your right into the bushes you will find your self at dragons teeth. The natural beauty of this piece of land beyond the golf course is amazing. On one side of the cliff the waters would be choppy, rough, not so smooth but still be clear blue and on the other side would be just clear blue so cool looking. The formations left behind from the lava are hypnotizing from multiple layers to random holes and crater like all on one rock. If you walk out to the point you will find yourself wandering in this labyrinth. They say it's like a spiritual prayer walk throughout. It's good for all ages to enjoy this scenery. Oh yeah on the way to dragons teeth you will stumble across a sign that says burial site....DO NOT DISRESPECT AND GO INSIDE...MOVE ALONG... read more

Gorgeous rocks and large waves. A greak place for a quick easy hike (but wear sneakers!) and a relaxing sunset!

This is one of those places that you really can't go just once. We've been here several time and it feels different each time. It's like walking over a different path and getting a different feeling every time. Take a walk and relax after you get t the ocean. It really is incredible read more

This is a cool site to see. The rock formation looks like sharp dragon teeth. It's located near residential and a golf course. It's kind of tricky to get down to Dragon's Teeth. The GPS on our phone was semi accurate. It told us to turn onto a street but it is actually gated. There are maps around the neighborhood that can help out but on the map it doesn't tell you where Dragon's Teeth is at. To get to Dragon's Teeth you have to walk along some bushes on the golf course. There is a walking/jogging trail that goes off in one direction after the parking lot. It may seem like there is no path at all but if you keep walking, a path starts to form. Keep walking down and you will reach Dragon's Teeth. Be careful walking through Dragon's Teeth since there are rocks and the waves can actually come up and get you wet. read more

Dragon's Teeth - Local Flavor Near Me - Kapalua, Hawaii

Come and sit on a rock to watch the waves crash and feel the fresh breeze in your face. Gorgeous views! Probably not worth the drive if you're staying in another part of the island. You can see an island from here as well as get panoramic views. Dragons Teeth is dry on one side and the other side looks like volcanic rock. Definitely check it out if you're staying at the Ritz. We walked through the paved golf cart road in the golf course because we couldn't tell how to get down there, but just follow the bushes around the ancient burial ground and you'll see a yellow, beaten path at the edge of the golf course. This makes for a very relaxing afternoon. read more

Cool rock formation. Very windy and a cool labyrinth to check out too. Make sure you don't walk through the burial site or golf course (path is between the two). read more

Of course the best thing about visiting here is the price (free). The setting is beside a golf course with some huge and spectacular homes right there. You have to park and walk down beside the fairway. For us, it was a drizzly day, so there were no golfers. I would not enjoy this walk if a hacker like me were playing this hole. The dragons teeth are from some light, dense and fine lava flows that kind of look like a poorly iced cake. You can tell these are fairly new from a geological standpoint because the formation are very sharp and crisp. It's surreal and a must see if you are in the area. Parking is pretty limited - the lot was full on a rainy winter day, so keep that in mind on a sunny day. AND by all means, keep an ear out for someone yelling "Fore." read more

One of my new favorite places to visit on maui! Uncrowded, easy parking, great sights. The rock formations are terrifically cool, and if you stand close you might end up in the splash zone. read more

Super easy hike/jog along side the beach, this trail takes you to different ecosystems and terrains. Dragon's Teeth really looks like what it is named after. We started at the Ritz Carlton and headed our way back so it was a pretty good lengthy work out. read more

This site is definitely worth a stop, but careful - it's a little tricky to find, so don't miss it! We walked down the hedge line on the far right side of the golf course and were able to get down with ease. Dragon's Teeth is a volcanic formation that is fitting for its name. It was nice to hang out there watching the waves come crashing in. Spent a lot of time here taking pictures and just taking in the scenery! Additionally we were also very respectful of the ancient Hawaiian burial site that exists nearby. read more

Completely beautiful and the hike was great. It wasn't that bad; you don't really need to be fit to go on this hike. There happened to be sea turtles swimming close to the shore the day I hiked, and it was so cool watching them break through to the surface. Some were really small, while others were really big! There are beaches on both ends of the hike, so you can go swimming afterwards read more

Nice place to go for a beautiful scenery. It's one of the must visit place in Maui. It's not much of walk from the parking lot if you are lucky to find a space. However people visit leave quickly so if you wait a bit you will get a space to park. It's side by side with the golf course of Ritz Carlton. It would be nice to stay on the path and keep it down for them. read more

Very interesting geologically and a very beautiful spot. Follow the other Yelper's directions and you'll have no problem finding it!

An absolutely must see! It's an amazing place with great views, and the water has worn away the rock in such a breathtaking way. Easily my favorite place in Maui! read more

Do research, and be respectful before visiting. This location is a part of a Native Hawaiian grave site. The point (Dragon's Teeth) sits adjacent ...to ancient burial grounds containing thousands of iwi, or bones, of Native Hawaiians http://www.mauinews.com/page/content.detail/id/514686.html?nav=10 read more

This is a great walk at the end of one of the Kapalua golf courses. Amazing lava formations and the labyrinth is pretty cool too. Some stupid lady was walking on it, like on the stones and grass....idiot, have some respect. The ocean here can be rough so don't get too near the edges when the waves are pounding. The turtles were having fun in the rough surf. read more

We happened upon this on our last day and I wish we had earlier in the week. I could have stayed here all day and watched the water/waves. It was so beautiful; one of coolest places we found. Due to time (my fault, I couldn't stop taking pictures and video) we only hiked 1/2 way. Definitely going back to do the whole trail and spend some time at the little beach there. Looking very forward to! Tip: if you find one gorgeous place to overlok, walk 20 feet and you'll find one 10x more beautiful. read more

Super cool scenery. One of the most unique views on Maui. Loved this area this most, more than road to Hana, which is overrated in my opinion. Weather here can be overcast, rainy. read more

This is a great place to visit and an easy find. Right below the dragon's teeth is the ocean. We saw two surfing turtles there as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this spot. (By the way, it's at the end of a golf course). hawaiiweb.com/maui/sites_to_see/DragonsTeeth.htm read more

Incredible rock formations with great views of the bays on both sides of the point. We walked over from DT Fleming Beach past the Ritz Carlton. You walk down the side of the golf fairway but it is an easy walk across the rocks. It is well worth it. read more

Very cool point that's down the road from the Sansei Sushi restaurant. It's worth visiting, but be respectful as it's part of a native Hawaiian burial ground. read more

A quick 30 minute stop to take some photos of some cool rock formations. Located right next to Fleming's Beach so its a great to stroll through on the way to the beach. read more

This is a easy little spot to hike to. You have to walk along the yuppy ville ritz carlton hotel and along a little dirt trail. Its a interesting place to visit and a good spot to see turtles. The jagged lava mounds look like dragons teeth, hence the name. We saw about 6 turtles and some very large ones at that. The way that the lava flowed and the wind and water formed it is very unique. read more

cool place to check out while you're up there in kapalua.be careful as the rocks can be jagged and/or slippery in some places.i recommend using shoes instead of flip flops to protect your feet read more

We start at the beginning of the trail at Kapalua Bay. It was a beautiful walk. The kids had a lot of fun climbing all over the lava rocks. Ended up at the Ritz Carlton and had a couple drinks at their restaurant on Dragon's Teeth beach to soak in the beauty of Maui's beach. read more

The Maui News article is misleading. To get to the rocky point AKA Dragon's Teeth, you walk along the edge of the golf course, which does not impact the burial site. If golfers can go there with impunity, why not tourists? The article implied the rocky point is dangerous. Well, so are hundreds of other rocky shorelines in Hawaii. The burial site is marked by several plaques besides the one recently installed, so one need not disrespect the historic remains in order to enjoy DT. read more
