Pali lookout with Likeke Falls
Family
It’s best to do the lookout and the falls together in one trip. You park at the golf course and you will pay 10.00 to park if you don’t want to park outside and walk in. The hike is little more than a mile total. You get a nice glimpse at the Oahu jungle. It’s a beautiful setting. No part of the hike is difficult though it can get a little muddy. The falls are beautiful and the water refreshing. Wearing water shoes is your best bet to navigate around the falls. This was a great setting and a fun family hike.

Short hike, don’t miss the arrows
Couples
The waterfalls are nice but I wouldn’t call it an easy hike, it is very muddy and you have to duck under lots of tree branches. We totally missed the arrows in the trees to turn right. We were looking for more of a fork or T in the path. Really it was a right turn off the path which kept going straight. The arrows were green and blue spray-painted into the trees. We were not the only ones who missed the arrows either, as we ran into some folks who made the same mistake! We turned around and saw the arrows on our way back and ended up making it to the falls, which were very nice.

Chasing waterfalls
If you’re looking for a family friendly hike, this one is for you. Very short hike about 15-20 minutes walk if you park by the Ko’olau Golf Club. Other options to do this hike is park by Pali lookout then hike down from the old Pali road which is a bit longer. The trail is easy to find. However, it can get muddy and slippery. Watch your step.

Ample free parking, easy navigation, child (not stroller) and dog friendly, pleasant forest scenery and a waterfall ... what’s not to like? As a result of the above, the trail and falls can get busy on weekends and holidays. The shallow lower pool is great for cooling (and cleaning the mud from) tired feet. Bug spray and treaded shoes recommended.

Short but nixe
Easy hike. Park at edge of golf park lot - right when u enter. Go immediately up and over small low chain fence - follow path to graffiti covered reservoir - take path to left right BEFORE reservoir. At first T take a right and another 10 minute over roots and east mud to falls. Nice, easy, pretty family friendly.

Excellent short trail that is visually great for much of the way
Make sure you get instructions on how to follow this trail. There are two turns that are not obvious. If you go the wrong way you will end up on a much longer trail. Thankfully there is signal all the way up the trail and I was able to read websites on the way up.

It's uphill, there are tricky spots to go through that require a bit of difficult footing. You do have to crouch under some awesome branches pretty low and there is a tree you have to climb over or crawl under. A great beginner's adventure. It looks like a dark fairy forest from a fantasy movie. Cute falls at the end. Just a great hour of a hike all the way through. Tons of parking, no bathroom. The church nearby had a sign that said there was a bathroom nearby but it was very vague so we had to drive to the nearest fast food place.

Bring insect repellent!

Adventurous hike and good workout
Family
We like to venture off the beaten path and wanted to check out the waterfalls here. It is not too difficult of a hike and we we were prepared for the muddy terrain and streams (wear reef or Teva water shoes here, socks are worthless) and drizzly conditions (light hooded shell). Also have your slippahs in a plastic bag in the car to change out of the muddy shoes.
It is a nice meandering path leading straight to the falls and it was rushing pretty well after hurricane season.

Gorgeous Hike
Tricky to get to but an amazing hike with breathtaking views! Be careful during slick weather and be sure to wear sunscreen when the sun is out.

Great hike if you take the correct trail!
Family
We started this trail looking forward to a short hike. Well this took us 3-1/2 hours as there are no markers on the path and there are several pathways. We started on the correct trail but when we came to a fork we went left and found out we should have gone right. If you want a trail that is really tough, muddy, slippery and challenging at times, take the left trail if you want to make it to the waterfall go right. We did make it to the fall and it was beautiful in every way. The stream, rocks, trees everything! Beautiful! There is an app for trails that we found out afterwards, now I know I will always look at that! Also should have checked some reviews on the pictures some have placed on the correct paths!
Go explore have fun! The outcome was worth it! Btw look for the tree with a blue arrow- follow this!
