Waterfall hikes are a beloved part of Hawaiian life, and fortunately for us, the islands are full of them. However, not all of them are good for beginners, or especially those with young hikers in tow. But if you’ve ever experienced the lovely Maunawili Falls Trail on Oahu, you already know it offers both sweeping views and up-close-and-personal waterfall time… and it’s just short and easy enough to be considered family-friendly.
This is one of the most visited trails on Oahu, so it's by no means a hidden gem. Still, it's definitely worth checking out.
The steep section of man-made stairs will prove that... but don't worry, they're located near the end of the hike.
