Guava trees grow all over Maui. The fruit is considered to be a berry but it looks like a lemon and the inside is pink and seedy. Some folks eat guavas raw - they just bite into them and eat the whole fruit - but most guavas are used for jelly or juice. Guavas are an important crop in Hawaii with fruit production exceeding 15 million pounds per year.
This cache is located on the old Village Golf Course which is no longer a golf course - it is very overgrown - and the owners have opened the former golf paths to walkers. There are stunning panoramic views of the ocean, the neighboring islands and a hidden lake with ducks. You can bring some bread to feed them.
The Kapalua Adventure Center sometimes has trail maps available but if not, maps are posted at the Adventure Center and at various spots along the trail. You can park at the Adventure Center.
Go through the first tunnel and continue up the path. You will need a writing implement and maybe tweezers. Please do not "unwire" cache from tree. Just unscrew, remove log, sign it, and screw the bottom back on.
Bring water and you might want to bring bug spray, sunscreen, a hat, a snack, and a poncho as rain is always a possibility. Enjoy your hike!
