I used to go to Waimea falls as a kid with my family long long ago when there was only a narrow dirt foot path with a lot of big rocks to the falls. Later on in my teens my friends and I used to hike the trail to Waimea falls to go swimming in the pools below the falls and jump off the rocks into the pool. Life was good in those days. Brings back a lot of good memories.

Thank you for the videos! Do you need a life jackets for most of the waterfall hikes? We’re traveling to Hawaii next month
@murphytravelsofficial Жыл бұрын
Most of the waterfalls we've hiked to in Hawaii are on public land so you don't have to wear a life jacket if you don't want. Waimea Falls is on private land so you have to follow their rules. There is a fee to enter the botanical gardens/falls but the life jackets were provided with no additional cost.

Hi! How far was this hike/ hike time? Traveling with a toddler as well
@murphytravelsofficial Жыл бұрын
I believe if you go directly to the falls the hike is only about 3/4 miles one way. But it is through a botanical garden that has a lot of side paths/trails and loops you can walk on to see different gardens and tropical plants. So the time will depend on how much of the botanical garden you want to see.

Is the water deep ?
@murphytravelsofficial Жыл бұрын
It is shallow where you get in, but gets deep as you get closer to the falls.

Is there a safe place to put your bag if you go alone
@murphytravelsofficial Жыл бұрын
I'm not sure. When we were there, most of the people just left their bags on the ground next to the falls. That's what we did and didn't have any issue. There are employees working there handing out the life jackets so it's possible they might watch a bag for you. You could call and find out for sure. The number from their website is (808) 638-7766.

Is the water clean?
@murphytravelsofficial 2 ай бұрын
@@Des_10_ny It probably varies from day to day, but there are usually a lot of people swimming in it, so it wouldn't be super clean, but it's flowing so there is always new water coming in. There is an underwater shot at 3:58 were you can see the visibility.
