ホノルル郡の滝・トップ11

As a waterfall it is about 5/10, as a hike about 3/10, ( extremely muddy when we did it), but for forest birdlife, 8/10.

Great place for a picnic when it's dry. Turn back here - the route that continues up the ridge is poorly maintained and overgrown.

This is a rewarding up-stream trail with beautiful waterfalls and a hidden crater along the way. The trails can be pretty slippery after storms, so this trail would be best to run in dryer conditions.

The waterfall itself is beautiful with the thick jungle and mossy backdrop. The mosquitoes throughout Lyon Arboretum and the ʻAihualama Falls Trail are pretty bad!

This park is located in the valley of the Waimea River. If you park you bike and take the path down to the very end, a waterfall awaits! There is also a botanical garden that doesn't require the walking to the end of the trail. Further information: waimeavalley.net

Maunawili Falls is a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the jungle. The water first flows down a rocky path and then cascades into the pool below, where you can go for a swim. The main trail is closed at the moment, but the waterfall can still be reached via other trails (e.g. from Pali Highway).

Usually, you can watch the water running down a beautiful rocky and moss covered wall at ʻAihualama Falls. Depending on the recent amount of rain in the valley, they might be dry or carry a lot of water!

Reaching Luaʻalaea Falls might be a little harder than nearby Mānoa Falls, but thanks to its lesser popularity, there's a good chance that you will have the entire waterfall to yourself or just share with a handful of people. The waterfall itself is beautiful, especially if there was some rain before, and is a great spot for a little refreshment under the falling water.
