![]() Loved it here! We made a reservation and arrived just after opening. Overall this hike is very easy to get to from Waikiki (it is only about a 20 minute drive) so it is a nice way to experience some more scenery with less crowds. Bring your water bottle with you as well as it is humid. It had clearly rained the night before and it was extremely windy in the days that we were there so we noticed that there were some fallen trees blocking the path so I hope that was recent and not left for a while considering the $7 charge to park. There was only one steep section and the rest was doable. It also took us about 35 minutes on the way down and we took our time but we did not take breaks. However we still found the hike worth it for the scenery on the way up and the height of the waterfall. The falls are more grandeur in the fact that it is a tall and high waterfall as opposed to the flow, because as others have mentioned the flow is a trickle. It took about 35 minutes to get to the end where the falls are. I was smart and did my research to bring bug spray with me but I was not smart and forgot to put it on! Please remember to put on your bug spray before leaving your car or put it in your bag because I came away with a few bug bites. Also there are certain points in the trail where you notice the bugs. As others mentioned in previous reviews it is rocky and muddy so be prepared to have your shoes a little muddy. There are some really cool scenic moments as you hike up. Therefore there is no need to do this as a sunrise hike because you cannot see much except for thick jungle. There were not many people there when we arrived and therefore the trail was empty which was nice compared to something like diamond head in which there was a lot of other people. ![]() We arrived around 7am and there was someone manning the parking lot. I found this hike online while searching for relatively short hikes that are not too tough and have good views.
