Ko’olau Waterfall Hike

The Ko'olau Waterfall Hike takes guests from a Waikiki pickup, in an air-conditioned shuttle, to a privately owned rainforest property on windward Oahu. The trail is mild to moderate in difficulty, covering dirt paths with rocks and roots. Guides lead the group to a waterfall and a shallow pool where visitors can splash around, along with streams set among tropical vegetation.

Because this is a rainforest environment, rain is part of the experience, and the trail can become muddy and slippery. Waterfall output varies depending on recent rainfall. Closed-toe shoes with good traction are strongly recommended.

Guests should dress for wet and muddy conditions rather than dry terrain. The shuttle pickup location in Waikiki makes it straightforward for travelers staying in that area to join without arranging separate transportation to a trailhead.
