Our family of five from Texas and Oklahoma visited Oahu and the Big Island for Spring Break! The waterfall and area is Amazing!! I love waterfalls and this one did not disappoint. I love the multiple layers of this waterfall!! A very short walk from the parking lot! Absolutely gorgeous views at this area!! Would definitely recommend visiting this waterfall in you are in the area!!

Getting there: Paved road through residential area. Very short 2 minute paved path to the view point. Parking: Parking lot. Admission: Free. Singed. No gates to enter. Facilities: Restrooms. Beach / swimming: No. Accessibility: Wheelchair & stroller yes. Other: No trials. Just a view point. Falls are quite far away.

Another great place to stop and appreciate Waikulu River State Park. This is the Boiling Pots section. Here you'll see the rushing river up close with some more falls in the near distance. Again, the scenery is fantastic, and the views are great. Perfect opportunity to stop and stretch the legs, appreciate the beauty of the area and take a few pictures. Admission is free and parking is free, and this section is not too crowded, so you should have no problem finding a parking spot. There are also free public restrooms located right off the parking lot. It is an easy walk to the lookout area, If you are big fan of waterfalls, lush gardens and scenery, you could easily enjoy an hour or two just taking it all in, but you could stop here for 15 minutes and see everything there is to see. Either way, it is a very enjoyable and relaxing place to visit in the state park.

There is a handicap accessible overlook. The best time to view the boiling pots is immediately following rain, as the Russian water creates the “boiling effects”. There is ample free parking, a grassy area for picnics, and a restroom.
