Out in Oahu’s Waimea Valley, you’ll find this awesome paved trail in Hawaii that’s easy enough for everyone to do. And the best part? It ends up at a waterfall and swimming hole. Easy hikes don’t get much better than this!
If you’re on Oahu and looking for an easy trail with a big payoff, head to Waimea Valley.
Dallas Johnson / AllTrails The Waimea Valley Trail is an easy hike that brings you all the way to a waterfall and swimming hole. It’s the perfect paved trail for hikers of all experience levels.
Near Haleiwa, it’s an easy route to complete.
Andrew Galvan / AllTrails We love the shade from overhanging tree branches, so the hot sun isn’t beating down on you during your hike. If the temperature is climbing, grab a bathing suit and head out.
And the scenery along the hike is equally gorgeous.
Jun Ma / AllTrails The entire trail is paved and well-maintained. But the grade can be up to 8 percent in some areas, so you may need a little help if you push a stroller or wheelchair/mobility equipment to the falls.
The trail is an out-and-back trail and measures in at just under two miles.
Jun Ma / AllTrails The entire elevation gain is only 272 feet, which makes it pretty easy to complete. The kids will love it, too!
The trail and falls can get pretty busy as the day continues, as it’s a popular hike.
Rigo Ramirez / AllTrails Come early in the morning and you’ll have most of the trail to yourself. Or later in the afternoon, if you want a little quiet along the way.
There is a small entry fee for this hike.
Andrew Galvan / AllTrails Check out their website for the most up-to-date pricing. And you’ll be asked to wear a life vest if you choose to swim in the falls. But worth it!
This is such a great hike, especially on a hot day.
Lester User / ALlTrails So grab your gear and your family, and spend the morning on this lovely trail. You’ll love the scenery and the swimming hole on this easy hike in Hawaii!
