    Seeing the waterfall made it worth the stop! An easy 30 min walk on a paved path..would recommend bug spray (at least in july)...was a little rocky and slippery getting into the water, but once away from the edge the water becomes 30 feet deep...is...More

    Beautiful park with refreshing waterfall experience for our teenagers

    Highly recommended place for strolling beautiful gardens and enjoying a cool and refreshing swim in the pool below the waterfall. 3/4 mile stroll (one-way) slightly uphill to the waterfall was easily achieved by all family members (including senior citizens).

    Breathtaking scenery with an easy walk for all ages

    This is a great option for families young and old. The walk to the falls is an easy paved road through a lush green valley. There is a shuttle that will take you to the falls for an extra fee if you are not up...More

    State Park

    Beautiful and educational and fun! Getting to swim in the swimming hole at the bottom of a waterfall was amazing. It was also wonderful to learn more about the tools, crafts, architecture, arts & culture of the people who are indigenous to this amazing place.

    Excellent park with botanical walk to waterfall

    We visited Waimea Valley on 4th July 2018. We enjoyed a walk through the botanical gardens through to the waterfall. Both provided lots of wow moments. We were interested to see that swimming is permitted in the waterfall pool. On our way back we checked...More

    The only disappointment was that a life jacket was required to swim in the pool under the falls.

    If you are interested in plant life and indigenous cultures, this is a great hike. Although the main road to the waterfall is only listed as 3/4 of a mile one way, we turned the round trip into 4.5 miles to see all the side...More

    Perfect if you like plants

    If you want to see a lot of different plants and trees. It ends up with a waterfall where you can swim in, so take your swimsuit

    Beautiful Walk to the Falls!

    We made sure to bring the family on our trip back to Oahu. They were not disappointed. This place is beautiful, from walking around the botanical gardens and then taking a nice cool swim in the falls.

    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).
