Скачать или смотреть Waimano Falls Sunrise Hike, Oahu Hawaii | Hidden Waterfall All to Ourselves

If you want the best experience my cuzzo and I recommend starting early and hitting the trail at 5:45 AM to experience Waimano Falls—one of Oahu’s more hidden, less touristy gems. Catching the Hawaiian sunrise on the way down was absolutely worth it, even though I should’ve brought hiking sandals (learn from my mistake!).

This hike is rated intermediate—so while it’s doable for most, it can be a challenge if you’re not used to regular activity. Along the way, we stuck to the trail markers (almost got lost once or twice!) but made it down safely. When we arrived, we had the place completely to ourselves.

Highlights of the day included:

Swinging off the rope swings into the falls

Having little fish nibble at our feet

Enjoying the peace and quiet before anyone else arrived

Sharing an adventure away from the typical Oahu tourist spots

If you’re visiting Oahu and want something more unique than the usual Waikiki spots, we highly recommend Waimano Falls. Just be prepared with the right shoes, plenty of water, and an adventurous spirit!
