I'm glad you've seen Akaka Falls. I love that waterfall, too. The first time I went to see those falls, a think fog had rolled in and I was only able to hear the falls. Luckily, I've been able to return to see them several more times and seeing them never gets old. Hope you get to re-visit Hawaii soon! Thanks, Suzy! I’m glad you’ve seen Akaka Falls.

I have only visited the Big Island, but loved Akaka Falls. Waialeale Crater Waterfalls on Kauai looks pretty appealing though. Time for a re-visit! Gorgeous waterfalls all around.

Geez! I still have to get to the Manoa Falls, because you and Andy opened that up for me! We just take too much for granted in the places we live. Still thinking about that Victorian hotel in NC!

I bet it was very refreshing. There was a waterfall off the road to Hana that we swam in a long time ago (2003). I would love to go back there, but for the life of me I can't remember how to find it again. Awesome, Tina. I bet it was very refreshing.

Some of them are either in accessible or people are prohibited from swimming in them I think the only one on this list that you can swim in is at the Oheo Gulch, though you do need to be alert for the possibility of flash floods. There's quite a few private tours in Hawaii where you can go to hidden waterfalls and swim. For example, we did this cool hiking tour of the Waipio Valley Rim and got to swim in a waterfall pool: http://www.govisithawaii.com/2008/04/11/waipio-valley-rim-hike-with-hawaiian-walkways/ Also, on a zipline tour we did, we had the option to swim in a waterfall pool http://www.govisithawaii.com/2008/12/08/review-princeville-ranch-adventures-zipline/ How about you?
