Admission fees apply. *Since you will have paid parking, walk over to Waimea Bay (across the street) after the waterfall hike! Please note: 🌺Provided life jackets are required if swimming at the waterfall. 🌺It gets super hot on the trail during the day, bring lots of water, sunscreen, and a hat! Cool off in the waterfall! 🌺There are shuttles for an extra fee that can bring you to and from the waterfall! 🌺Market on Thursdays! Admission prices can be expensive to get into the falls.
