ALS – that’s too bad that the falls weren’t “on” We were recently on the Big Island visiting Rainbow Falls, which we’ve seen when it had a good flow. This last time it barely had a trickle.

I agree with you that the journey on Monoa Falls trail is very enjoyable.

One thing I would add–this is definitely a hike where you get more enjoyment out of the hiking than the final destination. Take in all the forest has to offer on your way to the falls, which were somewhat disappointing on the day we were there (dry spell?). Certainly doable even for those who aren’t in shape as well.

@ Lindsay – we also got lost. That’s why I provide a nearby street address in case it helps others.

Would you believe that we had our hiking poles with us…..in the truck of the car! Doh!! We really could have used those on this hike.

Thanks for your comment!

We hiked this as well. It was a good little hike but you definately want to wear the proper shoes. I was wearing so old sneakers however my husband decided that his sandal’s would be ok to wear. That was a really bad idea because the bath was really muddy. There is rocks along the way and it was really slippery.

I also wanted to comment that it was hard to get to. We got lost getting there and had to ask for directions. A couple of people didn’t know where it was at, even though they lived around the area.

Oh yeah and take a walking stick – even if you don’t think you’ll need it, it’s helpful if it’s muddy so you don’t slip.

@ Stefan – yes it is wonderful! Glad you’ve enjoyed the hike, too.

@ Evelyn – hehe…I’ll tell the photographer. The next time you have a couple hours free, maybe you could check out how pretty it is in person.

OMG! Sheila, I had no idea it was so beautiful up there! I ran the slide show of all the pics. So beautiful and you caught one of the birds I never see too! Tell the GoVisitHawaii photographer that he deserves a raise.

Yeah, yet another place I haven’t been to. Shame on me! Love it!
