Beautiful spot, Lots of tourists

Busy tourist attraction. Pay to enter. Lots of beautiful botanicals, most are not native to Hawaii. Paved walk to Waimea Falls with dirt side paths for botanicals and examples of old Hawaiian building techniques. You can swim at the waterfall pool but must wear a...More

Lovely gardens. Average waterfalls.

The kids would probably enjoy the waterfalls portion the most since they can wade in the pool at the base but getting there was a lot more interesting IMO. The botanical gardens are many and lovely. You could spend a lot of time exploring each...More

Extremely beautiful - Worth a look and a swim at a waterfall!

The only place on Oahu that you can swim at the waterfall. our teenagers loved it. Definately worth going to (Check out Tsue's Farm north shore tour which you can book through Affordable Tours).

Fun for all ages

Beautiful walk up to the waterfall & pool. Everyone down to my 7-year-old swam in the pool and under the waterfall. Life jackets are required but free.

Great

Enjoyed this a lot more than we expected to. Quite a hike, but go at your own pace. Very inexpensive thing to do and worth it.

Is this just an open park or do you need to buy tickets and pay for a tour? Do we need to worry about getting tickets ahead of time? If we plan to arrive around 1/2:00, is that enough time?

You must buy tickets. Yes, that should be ample time. You can swim in the lagoon under the falls, too, though life jackets are required (and provided).

The parking for Waimea Valley is several minutes driving in from the road. If you were to walk to the beach from the parking area, it may be a little far. Also, the parking is for paying Waimea Valley visitors. There is a... More
