Easy hike (if you can call it that). If you are coming from the parking lot, go to the right of the metal shack if you want a slightly long walk and to the left if you want to go straight to the falls. Right now there is a homeless camp if you take the trail to the right of the shack. The pool is a little muddy and be careful of rocks if you go swimming. A lot of reviews mention bringing bug repellent, but honestly, I didn’t see any mosquitos at all. Maybe I just lucked out.

Quick easy. Don’t know if I would get in this water but the flow is good. Mosquito repellent is a must. Trash along the trail from homeless but no homeless when we came.

Great adventurous hike! Bring bug spray in this area. This area was used as a film location in the hit TV show LOST for various scenes involving hikes through the jungle. Used in the episodes "Exodus" in season 1, "Maternity Leave" and "Live Together, Die Alone" in season 2, "What Kate Does" and "Lighthouse" from season 6.

The water was a nice temperature but a little muddy. There's a really high jump off if you're ballsy enough. A lot of mosquitoes so bring bug spray. A few homeless people around in the woods. Still beautiful and worth the short walk. Park in the mortuary parking lot and take the trail at the back left of the lot for easy access

The hike to the falls can be kind of confusing to start. We started from the Adventist Church and after a while of searching found the beginning of the trail. It’s over to the left from the bottom of the driveway, by a very inconspicuous rock wall. The hike is not long at all and the falls may be able to be reached from the Pali hwy. Be aware that there are homeless camps along the trail in various spots. They do not bother you but they’re just there.

Nice easy hike with good spots to jump in, I'll upload the drone footage later of the backflips etc. The water wasn't the nicest and I would avoid getting it in your mouth, and shower ASAP afterwards. Luckily the church nearby has a spicket you can use to wash off afterwards. Overall still lots of fun and super easy maybe 1/4 mile each way if that. Also note there are lots of homeless avoid messing with them, i shouldn't have to say that but some people can just be nosey and rude. Enjoy the falls and try to pick up trash on your way out it helps all of us. Thank you and mahalo.
