WAIMEA VALLEY
Tucked away on the North Shore of Oahu, Waimea Valley is home to world-class botanical gardens and over 5,000 species of plants. The Valley aims to conserve and restore 1,800 acres of Waimea's natural ecosystems.
Waimea Valley was once a thriving taro producing area for ancient Hawaiians. Now the valley is open to the general public and visitors can hike 3/4 of a mile to the beautiful 40-foot Waihi Falls (also known as Waimea Falls). With a lifeguard on duty, you can end your tour of Waimea's cultural sites and botanical gardens with a refreshing dip in the pool below the waterfall.
