A lush rainforest hike just 15 minutes from Waikiki that ends at a beautiful 150-foot waterfall. The 1.6-mile round trip trail winds through a tropical jungle with massive banyan trees, bamboo groves, and wild ginger. Kids feel like they have entered a movie set and in fact many films have been shot here. The trail can be muddy so sturdy shoes are essential. The waterfall at the end drops into a rocky pool surrounded by greenery. Swimming in the pool is discouraged due to bacteria but the view is stunning.
