What people say

"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. We recommend going to the Toa Luau at this location so you have complementary access to the falls a week before and after the luau! "
"This is a 1.9-mile out-and-back trail. Generally considered an easy route, it takes an average of 1 hour to complete. It is paved the entire way to the waterfall, where you can swim. It is important to note that it costs about $25 to enter, can feel touristy, includes a botanical garden, and rock jumping is not allowed. If you visit, it is recommended to go early!"

"Paved hike in a botanical garden that leads to a waterfall to swim in. Tickets are $25 a person and parking is free. You can take a shuttle to the waterfall which is $10 each way. There are also peacocks on the grounds. "
