    Everything I thought swimming at the base of a waterfall would be! We really enjoyed this experience. There is a bit of road construction right now though and that messes with access, but still worth it!

    La Waimea Valley è davvero molto bella! Uno splendido giardino botanico, ricco di vegetazione brillante. Il sentiero è asfaltato e adatto a tutti. Lungo il percorso si possono trovare persone native hawaiiane che raccontano le loro storie e insegnano a suonare strumenti tipici hawaiiani, a intrecciare coroncine di foglie e tanto altro! Alla fine del sentiero si trova una cascata carina; è possibile fare il bagno, utilizzando i salvagenti che vengono dati gratuitamente, tuttavia è sconsigliato da appositi cartelli che indicano la presenza di virus all'interno dell'acqua. Per visitare bene tutto il giardino botanico terrei conto di almeno 1-2 ore (se non si vuole fare il bagno, altrimenti di più). Noi siamo entrate gratuitamente grazie al biglietto per il Toa Luau che consiglio, altrimenti l'ingresso sarebbe stato a pagamento. All'ingresso non c'era fila. All'interno del parco c'era abbastanza gente, ma si visitava tutto senza problemi. La maggior parte delle persone era alla cascata. Il parcheggio è a pagamento, a differenza di quello che dicono altre recensioni.

    I ALMOST skipped this experience because I preferred a “resort day” by the pool. Thankfully, I listened to my spouse and opted for the North Shore experience. This experience was worth every penny. I thought I was going to “just” see a waterfall, but ended up with a beautiful botanical garden to leisurely stroll through. First off, hibiscus is one of my favorite flowers, and the hybrid varietals seen here were exquisite. Secondly, I chose to swim to the waterfall- which is extremely out of character for me, but I was so glad I chose to do something brave (for me, anyway). I am so glad I went and got to experience the natural beauty of O’ahu in a protected and natural environment. Highly recommend- and it is worth waiting in the traffic!!

    We used our GO City Passes to visit Waimea Valley. Traffic was pretty heavy only because of the construction nearby, but thankfully we didn't wait too long. Parking is paid via QR which you can scan around the area. Upon entering the building there is an information center and a cafe you can check out, the restrooms are located here as well. We really weren't planning to swim by the waterfalls, but it was cool to see the different plants, animals and historic set ups scattered around the short walk. The weather was pleasant and cloudy, just some slight humidity. There's at least one snack vendor along the way in case you need food/drinks with a satellite restroom. There's also a shuttle you can take for a fee. Just a note - going to the waterfall has a downhill section, which means you will need to do a short climb when heading back. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and we quite enjoyed the exercise.
