Absolutely breathtaking views of the valley and flora of the island. I must've stopped every few steps just to take a photo of all the flowers and plants and wildlife roaming the area. Without a doubt this my favorite stop during my vacation.

Everything growing is labeled so you know exactly what you're looking at. And believe me there is so much to see.

I loved the explanations from the guides at the Hawaiian village huts. I wanted to learn more about life for natives to the island and the guides were so friendly and knowledgeable. I must've had a million questions and they explained everything perfectly.

Please do not pass this place up! You can choose to walk or pay for a ride (cash only) but I promise you it's well worth exploring by walking.

We have an annual pass and come regularly! The waterfall was beautiful today. We enjoyed a nice swim and had fun talking story with the artisans that were in today.

One of the remarkable aspects of Waimea Valley is its deep cultural and historical significance. The valley is home to ancient Hawaiian archaeological sites, traditional Hawaiian farming practices, and cultural demonstrations. These elements add a layer of depth and meaning to your walk, allowing you to connect with the rich heritage of the land and its people.

We came here to see Waimea Falls. The drive was perfect with little to no traffic as we drove along the beach and plantations. The place itself is so vast and beautiful that we ended up spending several hours walking around. It was then nice getting to the falls to take a dip to cool down. We learned that there was a movie being filmed at the time of our visit, but we couldn't tell. It was peaceful wherever we went. It's a must see place for anyone visiting Hawaii

What an incredible day! Was easy to find, great signage. buying tickets online was also super easy to navigate. The hike was great, beautiful scenery along the way and all paved. Great rest stops along the way as well. The best was the waterfall where you could swim. Very well organized with mandatory life jackets available and a team of staff explaining how to stay safe. One of the highlights of our trip. Amazing little hidden gem!

Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and so much history! Incredible place to visit for the whole family. Swimming in the waterfall was great; yes there are a lot of people, but everyone seemed pretty respectful and happy to share the falls for pics. Make sure to stop and make your own haku lei! Don't forget to bring cash to tip along the way!
