If you’re looking for a family-friendly trail in Hawaii that promises delicious views, check out the Waimea Valley Trail. Located near Haleiwa, Oahu, it’s an easy trail with a great swimming hole at the base of a waterfall. On the next hot day, grab the family and head on out on this spectacular hike!
Waimea Falls is a gorgeous waterfall that cascades down to a beautiful turquoise swimming hole.
Dallas Johnson / AllTrails Located inside the Waimea Valley, the Waimea Valley Trail is an easy hike for every age and ability. It’s an easy, well-maintained path that takes you all the way to the swimming hole and waterfall.
The entire trail is only 1.9 miles long, out and back.
Love Adetoye / AllTrails You’ll have great views of the surrounding lush tropical rainforest and the botanical gardens. The entire elevation gain is only 272 feet total, which makes this trail easy even in the heat.
We love that the trail is paved, increasing accessibility.
Darish Damon / AllTrails Strollers, wheelchairs, and other mobility devices will find this an excellent stroll to enjoy. Some slopes do hit 8%, so be aware in case you need additional assistance along the way.
If you do want to swim in the falls, make sure you pick up a life jacket before you jump in.

The entire Waimea Valley World Class Botanical Gardens are worth spending the day checking out.
Darish Damon / AllTrails Make sure to check out the historical site and the botanical gardens before your trip to the waterfall. You can truly spend the whole day enjoying yourself here.
Prices start at $25.00 per adult for a full-day admission.
