I think that was the closest put in point on the Wailua River to paddle on the river to get to the trailhead for the falls.Īfter we landed our canoe, we were then left on our own to do an unescorted hike to the falls (we agreed on a meeting time back at this spot, which was in about two hours, I believe). That part of the excursion probably took about 15 very relaxing minutes from the Kamokila Hawaiian Village, which was probably the closest or shortest water route to the start of the hike to Secret Falls.
When we first did this excursion with the Kamokila Hawaiian Village, they offered us a canoe ride where both Julie and I rode together and were rowed by a non-Polynesian employee with a thick pidgin accent. Looking past our canoe at the Kamokila Hawaiian Village towards other people kayaking on the Wailua River To my knowledge, there wasn’t a legal way to just hike to Uluwehi Falls without the need for using some form of water transport. This adventure involved doing a river kayak (a very popular option) or canoe up the Wailua River to the trailhead. I guess Uluwehi Falls wasn’t so “secret” after all! Water Transport to the Secret Falls Trailhead Since the falls was said to be 100ft, we figured that it was enough of a motivating factor for us to go through the adventure to get here.Īnd we were apparently not alone in this thinking because both times we’ve been here, the hike as well as frolicking at the plunge pool for Secret Falls were busy. We visited this waterfall twice – once in late December 2006 that involved a canoe ride leaving from the Kamokila Hawaiian Village and then in November 2021 where we kayaked from the Wailua River State Park marina. Secret Falls (Uluwehi Falls) is a very popular waterfall requiring some form of water transport to get to the trailhead, which made this a rather unique experience compared to most of the waterfalls we’ve visited over the years.
