Wailuku River State Park reviews
7Very beautiful waterfall. There are toilets in the parking lot. The parking lot is relatively small.
It’s the easiest waterfall you can get to. You don’t even have to hike there. Parking can be a challenge at times so just be patient. You can easily spend here 15 minutes.
The view and location itself is a wonder but very much a tourist hot spot. You literally see the big tour buses stop here with a crowd.
We just happened on the this place. We were driving around waiting for our room to open and discovered this. Easy to get to and quite beautiful
The parking lot is always an issue, especially on cruise ship days. So many people come to visit and there’s not enough car parking so people park in the tour van parking area, which is fine right up until the tours come through and there’s no where for the buses and vans to park. There needs to be someone there to assist with parking or something because it’s really annoying. The bathroom is also not great.
The waterfall is amazing, and steps from the parking lot. To the left of the viewing area for the waterfall, there is a staircase taking you to the top of the falls and an INCREDIBLE banyan tree. I couldn't believe my eyes. These pictures don't capture the magic of the tree, at all.
A beautiful waterfall that you can drive almost right up to. There is an overlook to look at the falls from below and you can also take a short walk to look at the falls from the top. There is a parking lot with free parking and bathrooms.
Amazing waterfall easily seen without hiking. There are steps that go up to be above falls. We of course went up the trail. Good view. Wasn’t a difficult climb. The little forest the trail leads to is so freaking cool! It’s kinda dark and creepy… bizarre trees. Loved it.
