(Parking is in a residential area. Make sure not to park in no parking zones/in front of fire hydrants. Please be respectful as it is a residential area) Hamama Falls, approximately 3.5 miles round trip has two great places to take a dip and lots of scenery to take pics of. Hamama Falls is a kid friendly hike and is fairly easy and mostly shaded. It's flat for the most part in the beginning and gets a little steeper as you get closer to the falls. Don’t drink river water because lepto can be common in river water.
This hike is on property owned by the Board of Water Supply so please respect this if you choose to visit. The hike begins at a locked gate that says "no trespassing, government property" We took our youth group hiking a few months ago, there were many other hikers. We saw a couple government service vehicles there but the employees just smiled and waved. There used to be a hole in the fence but they repaired it. Just walk to the left and go around the fence. Most of the trail is gravel but there are some muddy parts. The falls are beautiful and make for a great photo op.

Hiking at your own risk
Hike at your own risk. We do not condone the safety or legality of hiking any of the trails seen in our videos. Also do not rely on any information seen; please do your own research. Hiking in Hawaii is dangerous due to unstable surfaces. Injury or death may occur. It is also relatively easy to get lost in the dense tropical vegetation if you are not careful. Don’t start hiking too late, be knowledgeable about the trails and don’t hike alone. Make sure to inform someone where you’re going.
