Waipoʻo Falls (Top of the Falls)

Highlight • Waterfall

Hikers are sometimes surprised to see the trail ends at the top of 800-foot Waipo'o Falls, as opposed to approaching it head-on for the best views. It's still a breathtaking …

Canyon Trail, Kōkeʻe State Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

After the Waipo'o Falls the trail is harder to see. Be careful when finding your way. The effort is rewarded with a nice rest area on the Ka'ou.

Kumuwela Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Koke'e Hanemalu Trail

Highlight • Trail

The trail is in much better shape than the Kumuwela Trail. Together with this and the Canyon Trail it makes for a nice circular tour.

September 5, 2023,Kaua'i - Waimea Canyon - Canyon-, Kumuwela- und Koke'e Halenanu Trail

We were already in the east, north and south... So off to the west, the dry side of the island, the Waimea Canyon, the Grand Canyon of Hawaii (we had already flown over it in the helicopter).

The tour includes trails that are very overgrown and difficult to navigate. Sometimes you don't know exactly where the trail continues. That's the only negative aspect of this tour.
