Moderate difficulty hike up to the falls with lots of steps. Well maintained trail but easily overruled by mud! Beautiful views along the way to and from the destination. Out and back, can complete in 2 hours.

This is absolute must stop and swim! You don’t need any entrance tickets as google map states. There is parking right after the bridge and path down to the waterfall. Water is amazingly refreshing and revitalizing.

Gorgeous waterfall off the back road to Hana. It's right off the highway. There is a small pull off area on the side of the road that fits maybe 8 cars. You can take pictures from the road or walk about 100 feet on a trail to stand right in front of it. There is a small pool of water at the bottom of the waterfall that you can swim in. It's worth stopping and taking pictures.

Must visit on Road to Hana. Can access it from the bridge itself, if you want to have a closer look you can go a little near. Not many parking spots but if it’s not a rush hour you can get parking. Most beautiful falls on the Road to Hana.
