Welcome to Waimea Valley

Awarded in

Located on Oʻahu’s North Shore, Waimea Valley is a breathtaking wahi pana (a storied and sacred place) deeply rooted in Native Hawaiian history and living tradition. Guests are invited to step into a traditional Hawaiian kauhale, one of the last known intact examples of a historic living complex, and explore vibrant collections of more than 3,000 species of tropical plants spread across 60 beautifully curated themed gardens along a fully paved, accessible path.

The journey culminates at one of the only waterfalls on Oʻahu where visitors can experience a refreshing, safe swim, with lifeguards on duty. We welcome everyone of all ages for a truly unique, enriching, and memorable visit.
