Nature and man can work together. The result is the wonderful Tree Tunnel in South Kauai.
Walter Duncan McBryde was a Scotchman and started cattle ranching in South Kauai. McBryde planted these amazing Eucalyptus Trees many years ago.
The Eucalyptus trees once formed a beautiful natural enclosed canopy over Maluhia Road. Unfortunately, two major hurricanes damaged the tops of the trees. But today, the canopy of Eucalyptus trees still form a lush corridor on the way to Po’ipu, Kauai.
As you pass through the Tree Tunnel, you continue on to more exotic foliage, then sugarcane. Then you descend upon Koloa Town, now known to tourists as Old Koloa Town.
Directions: Take Highway 50 east from Kalaheo. Next, you would turn right on Highway 520 – Maluhia Road. The fragrant, beautiful passageway called the Tree Tunnel lines the first section of the road on the way to Po’ipu.
