Maunawili Falls, Oahu
Maunawili Falls is a picturesque 25 foot (7.6 m) waterfall. At the base of the waterfall is a pool. Some hikers refresh themselves here before heading back. While hiking around the waterfall, you can see beautiful views of the Ko'olau Mountains and other small waterfalls. This forest-covered area also has an abundant amount of papaya, banana, ginger, taro, and ti plants. Keep in mind that the path may be muddy and slippery, so wear proper footwear.
