The only waterfall on Oahu where you can legally swim, set inside a lush botanical garden in Waimea Valley. The paved 0.75-mile trail winds through 1,875 acres of native Hawaiian plants, archaeological sites, and cultural gardens before reaching the 45-foot waterfall with a swimmable pool at its base. Completely stroller-friendly.
Tip: Life jackets are provided and required for swimming at the falls. Visit on a weekday to have the pool nearly to yourself. Admission is around $25 for adults.
