By this point it's obvious I like to be outdoors and exploring. On that note, another one of my favorite hikes is Maunawili Falls Trail. This is another fairly easy trail for families, and best of all, at the end of the trail there is a beautiful waterfall and swimming hole. People enjoy jumping from the rocks into the pool- which to me looks like a blast, but I have yet to try it. Definitely wear a swimming suit as the trail crosses a stream a few times, and there are plenty of opporunities to cool off in the water. A camera is a must, and the ridgeline provides great views before the trail drops down to the valley and a set of stairs leads down to the creek, followed by the water fall.
The trail has quite a few uphill climbs and sets of stairs, but nothing too difficult for even the littlest hikers. Water and snacks are a must as the trail is about 2 miles each way.
Directions: From Honolulu, take the Pali Highway, heading toward Kailua. Make a right at the third stop light, which is Auloa Street, then go to the left on Maunawili Road. You will be driving through a subdivision. Follow Maunawili, make a right on Keewina Street. Park on the street. Be sure to lock all doors and do not leave valuables in a parked car.
