You have to check out waterfalls in Hawaii, you cant avoid going to visit here. The island is so small I highly recommend visiting as many as you can.

Older and infirm visitors need to make ue of the buggy carts. Some taking the walk ended up hitching a ride. The pool looked a bit muddy it the water must have been quite 'refreshing' being fed from the waterfall

Bring shoes you don't care about...seriously! Wear mosquito repellant and bring a hiking stick. It's muddy and trecherous and you may fall. The deal is that the view is amazing, the falls are worth seeing...think of it as an obstacle course, a challenge sort of thing. Commit to it and do it!

Great hike to the falls, they are very beautiful and I recommend the walk, do put shoes that can get dirty, we went after a few rainfalls and were in mud to our knees, but it was still a great experience

Its a bit of a hike to get to by public transport - you'll need to catch a couple of busses and make sure you tell the bus driver what you're intending because some hotel trip organizers aren't up with the bus routes. Also - this hike is VERY muddy! Don't expect to come back without mud up to your... More

At the beginning, the trail is covered in small stones and is easy to navigate. As you go a little further on the trail, it is covered in mud, and is slippery in some spots. However, as you walk, you get to see some of the most beautiful landscapes, small waterfalls, etc. It's an absolutely gorgeous walk through a rainforest.... More

This is a great walk and the waterfall is fantastic. It had rained heavily before we visited so the track was very muddy - we got pretty wet and dirty but it was absolutely worth it. It's not far from Waikiki either.

Lots to look at and take pictures of. Big problem is the masses of mosquitos that are waiting for you, lots of bug spray is recommended and I mean LOT'S. Have fun it is worth it if you can handle it.

This was an easy walking trail to the falls. Not hard or strenuous in the least. It does get muddy, but you can totally bring your kids. The falls are pretty. Not the best, but easy enough to get to that you may wanna cross "waterfall" off your list at this location. You have to pay for parking at the... More

We took the bus to get here, from the stop (residential area), there's more or less a mile walk to get to the gate that says Manoa Falls Trail.
