Walk along a historic cliff-side trail, towering 1,000 feet above the valley floor and encounter beautiful waterfalls and breathtaking views!

You’ll take a four-wheel drive up an old sugarcane lane. It’s a bumpy ride but offers great views of the countryside and local cattle grazing. Your destination is Kapoloa Falls, which plunges from the crest 300-feet above you and cascades across the trail falling another 200-feet into a deep chasm. You’ll be able to walk directly behind the falls for a truly dramatic photo opportunity and an experience you’ll never forget. Before reaching the falls you’ll access Pololu Valley and the Kohala Ditch Trail. The trail and ditch were built in 1905. This engineering marvel is carved into the cliffside of the valley wall one thousand feet off the valley floor. Along the trail your Naturalist Guide will share their knowledge and history of the area’s intriguing natural and cultural history.
