Waimea Valley

Waimea Valley is a nature preserve and cultural landmark on Oʻahu’s North Shore, deeply connected to Native Hawaiian history as a traditional puʻuhonua (place of refuge) and a center for cultural learning. Stroll through the 150-acre botanical garden, home to 3,000+ plant species, rare natives, and cultural sites offering hands-on activities from artisan crafts to Hawaiian games. Join a complimentary botanical tour or the personalized Kipahele Tour to immerse yourself in Waimea Valley’s history, legends, and scenic views. Refresh under the wailele (waterfall), enjoy dining near the waterfall trail or visitor center, browse local crafts in the gift shop, and end the day with a dinner and a show Toa Luau, featuring ʻumu-cooked dishes, Polynesian dance, music, and interactive cultural experiences. Whether you're seeking a peaceful nature walk, cultural connection, or a relax day outdoors with your family, Waimea Valley welcomes you.
