Waimea Falls


Waimea Falls
This area used to be an adventure park where you could see cliff-diving shows, ride ATVs and trams and go kayaking. It was shut down and turned over to the Audubon Society in 2003 which turned it into a botanical garden.

You can still take a dip at the 40-foot Waimea Falls though - when it's flowing. It's a 3.5-mile hike to the falls where changing rooms and a lifeguard await. Make sure to bring plenty of bug spray. The mosquitoes are deadly.

The valley is open from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. except Christmas and New Year's Day. Tickets are $8, $5 for children 4-12 and $2 to park.

Take H1 west bound to H2 heading to the North Shore. Take the Wahiawa Exit and get on Kamehameha Highway. Turn right into the Park just past the Waimea Bay Beach Park.
Location: Waimea Falls is located in the North Shore Region

I was lucky enough to find Waimea Falls back in 1974 while I was enlisted in the US Navy and served aboard the USS Coral Sea. (ON our way to Vietnam) It was the week between Christmas and New Year, and we had a great time.
Hiking to the falls was interesting, as there were at the time many fruit trees along the trail...as well as what I would describe as many pheasant (beautiful birds), and a couple of wild pigs... The water at the pool is remarkably clean...it was a very memorable experience. When we were there, we had the whole place to ourselves...we left with BIG smiles..
