Oheo Seven Pools Maui Ceramic Art Tile

Pick any four 4-inch tiles — National Parks you've been to, a Smokies set, the four seasons of one place. $ for a set of , cork-backed, ready to live on the table.

Each tile ships in a kraft box, tied with cream ribbon, with a handwritten note from the studio if you'd like to add one.

Three or five different vistas, hung together — a chapter of places you've been, or want to go.

ʻOheʻo Gulch sits in the Kīpahulu district of Haleakalā National Park on the southeast coast of Maui, about ten miles past the town of Hāna along the Piʻilani Highway. Pīpīwai Stream steps down through the gulch and empties into the Pacific at Kuloa Point.

The name was coined to promote the area by tourism interests at the Hotel Hāna-Maui in the late 1940s. The Hawaiian name is ʻOheʻo, meaning "something special." The pools were never sacred in Hawaiian tradition, and there are usually more than seven of them along the stream.

Often, no. Haleakalā National Park has closed swimming in the lower pools for long stretches in recent years because of flash-flood risk and rockfall. Check the park's current alerts page before driving down. The Kuloa Point loop and the Pīpīwai Trail stay open even when the pools are closed.

A four-mile round-trip hike from the Kīpahulu Visitor Center up the gulch, past Makahiku Falls and through a thick stand of bamboo, to the foot of Waimoku Falls, a 400-foot ribbon down a vertical basalt wall. It is the headline walk in the Kīpahulu district.

The dry months of May through October carry the lowest flash-flood risk and the most settled weather along the Hāna coast. Winter storms can swell Pīpīwai Stream within an hour. Mid-morning, after the gate opens, is the easiest light through the gulch.

Drive the Hāna Highway around east Maui to the town of Hāna, then continue another ten miles on the Piʻilani Highway to the Kīpahulu Visitor Center. The drive from Kahului runs three to four hours one way. Many visitors stay overnight in Hāna or Kīpahulu.

Yes. A Haleakalā National Park entrance pass is $30 per vehicle and covers both the Kīpahulu district and the summit district for three consecutive days. America the Beautiful annual passes are honored. There is no separate gate fee for Kīpahulu.

It's been a meaningful gift for many of our customers with ties to Maui. The drive to Kīpahulu and the walk through the bamboo to Waimoku Falls is one of the days people remember most from the road to Hāna. A Coaster or Small with a handwritten note from the studio carries that day well.

The piece reads well in tropical-modern, coastal-modern, and jewel-tone maximalist rooms. The deep greens and the water-blue of the falling pools hold their own against rattan, teak, or pale plaster walls. The Medium or Large work best when a wall has room for the tile to sit on its own.

Yes. Biophilic design leans on living water, deep greens, and natural light, and this tile carries all three. It pairs cleanly with rattan, woven sisal, and unbleached linen, and gives a tropical-modern room a focal point that is specific to a real place rather than a generic motif.

Over a console, a single Large or a Medium reads well. For a sofa-width wall, a 4-tile Mural gives the artwork the scale to feel commissioned. For a great-room feature wall, a 9-tile Mural is the size we recommend.

Yes, with the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both are scratch-resistant and built for vertical installation on backsplashes, shower walls, and powder-room features. The Glossy finish is for framed wall art in dry rooms.

Microfibre cloth and water. The colour lives in the ceramic surface beneath a thin glossy finish, so no special cleaner is needed and no abrasive is required. Avoid bleach-based cleaners on the Matte and Dura Satin finishes; they can dull the surface over time.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece is original to our single studio in Knoxville, Tennessee, curated by Reid Wender. The artwork is not licensed from any third party and is not sold elsewhere.
