Waterfall Park and Hikes in Haleiwa Alii Beach Park

"Grab your water shoes and some insect repellent and that's about all you'll need besides your swimming suit and camera if you're going to Manoa Falls. This 100-foot waterfall is a great example of the ecological diversity and beauty of Hawai'i's islands. The trail is easy for any kind of hiker to master, and the rainforests surrounding it will take you to a different world."

"First, one of the best (and most famous) waterfall hikes in Oahu is the spectacular Manoa Falls hike. The Manoa Falls receive tons of foot traffic, greatly due to its close proximity to Honolulu. Nevertheless, this hiking trail is stunning."

"Next head to Waimea Valley to see Waimea Falls and swim in the pool at the bottom. This is a beautiful and sacred place and could definitely warrant a few hours of your time – we spent about an hour and a half there."

"Tour Waimea Valley where you can learn about Hawaiian culture, admire a beautiful variety of trees, shrubs and plants and enjoy a swim at a waterfall. (See this link for TripAdvisor reviews of Waimea Valley.)"

"Waimea may get lots of press for the giant winter waves in the bay, but the valley itself is a newsmaker and an ecological treasure in…"

"If you’re feeling extra adventurous on your visit to Waikiki HI, embark on a three-mile journey into the Waimānalo Forest Reserve. Maunawili Falls is a secluded 20-foot waterfall near the genuinely breathtaking Ko’olau Mountains. The trailhead begins in the Maunawili residential area in northern Honolulu, 13 miles from Prince Waikiki."

"A post shared by Dustin Letcher (@dustinletcher) on May 17, 2019 at 9:45pm PDT. One of the most challenging hikes you can possibly try out is definitely the one to Maunawili Falls. Though stipulated as a tough hike, what greets you along the way is as memorable as the challenging hike is."

"Next on my list of the best waterfalls in Oahu is the stunning Maunawili Falls. One of the best waterfall hikes in Oahu, the Maunawili Falls trail receives heavy foot traffic. Located near Kailua, Maunawili is a moderate hike with spectacular views."

"The beautiful hike to Likeke Falls, depending on how much time you spend snapping photos and admiring the Ko’olau Mountains, should only take 20-25 minutes. Likeke Falls is one of the least frequented waterfalls in Oahu, but it’s definitely worth the drive, especially if you’re already planning on visiting Maunawili Falls. The short hike is highlighted by mountain vistas, valley overlooks, and lush flora."

"Located near Kailua, the Likeke Falls trail is an easy and muddy trek to a small set of waterfalls. While the Likeke waterfalls themselves are a bit unimpressive, the hike through the lush Hawaiian rainforest is extremely pleasant. Overall, the Likeke Falls are one of the best waterfalls in Oahu."

In fact, leave your footprints along the way as you make your hike to Lulumahu Falls and the moments and sights of this place will forever be imprinted in your memory."

"The Lulumahu Falls trail climbs through dense bamboo forests and over streams, before reaching the towering Lulumahu waterfall, reaching over 50 feet tall. It is definitely one of the best waterfalls in Honolulu!. While there’s heavy foot traffic, this moderate Honolulu waterfall hike is marvelous."

"Finally, let’s talk about one of the most challenging and frustrating waterfall hikes: Waipuhia Falls. Also known as the Upside-Down Waterfall, the Waipuhia Falls, when seen at the right moment, gives the illusion of a waterfall upside-down. However, while witnessing this phenomenon is utterly magical, there is no guarantee that you’ll see it (I, unfortunately, didn’t)."

"Situated just few minutes from Waikiki, The Kahala Spa is all you need after a tiring day. Featuring all the modern amenities, the spa’s treatment rooms are set up in nine suites. The guests are provided with a private suite and are given traditional treatments using authentic Hawaiian products."

"Spa Halekulani is located at the five star Halekulani Hotel, Honolulu's most revered ocean side hotel. At this Waikiki spa, Polynesian therapeutic techniques are blended with modern pure products and methods. The award-winning spa is beachfront in Honolulu, and is known for rejuvenating the mind, body, and spirit."

"With the top-to-bottom renovations of the Prince Hotel, the former Prince Court (known for its buffet and views) has become the 100 Sails, a...Read More"

"For a restaurant that is outdoor mainly they don’t plan for rain. It was not raining during our reservation and afterward but they still sat us near the ..."

"Spend your first day in the Honolulu area, either visiting the Pearl Harbor Museums or going for a short and memorable (yet sweaty) morning hike to the summit of the Diamond Head Crater. From the summit, enjoy awesome views of Waikiki Beach, our next destination. Back on level ground, head to one of the most famous beaches in Hawaii, the place to see and be seen in Honolulu. Body surfing, swimming, shopping, dining or just beach bumming – Waikiki is a perfect way to relax on your first afternoon."

"On the 7th of December 1941, the Japanese led an attack on Pearl Harbor killing 2,402 Americans, this caused the United States to enter into World War II. Each year millions of people from around the world visit Pearl Harbor to learn about this significant event and pay respects. There are five Pearl Harbor Historic Sites to visit including the USS Arizona Memorial, USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, Battleship Missouri Memorial, Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, and the USS Oklahoma Memorial."

"Found in the Pearl Harbor National Memorial, the USS Arizona Memorial can be accessed by a short boat ride. You will be standing atop the ruins of the actual battleship."

"Kayaking to the Mokulua Islands is a fun adventure. To learn about the cultures of the Polynesian Islands, spend the day at the Polynesian Cultural Center. The island villages and presentations start at noon. You could stay through the day exploring the villages, enjoy a luau and then catch the excellent evening show Ha: Breath of Life."

"The Mokes, as the locals refer to it, is a phenomenal destination to visit. It is a mile and a half away from the Kailua Beach Park off the Oahu's shore. Na Mokulua, meaning, The Twin Islands are a pair of small islets - Moku Nui and Moku Iki."

"Sandy Beach Park is a great place to go watch experienced bodysurfers and bodyboarders take on some of the roughest breaks on the island of Oahu. Located on the southeastern coastline, Sandy Beach Park is known as the “the beach with broken necks” and is visited mostly by locals. The powerful currents and steep shorebreaks combined with outcrops of sharp coral as well as a quick drop-off of the ocean bottom, makes this one of the best beaches in Oahu among experienced bodyboarders and bodysurfers."
