★★★★★
An easy to moderate trail depending on your conditioning. Some short sections are fairly steep but with well defined paths. Humidity can be a factor. Carry enough water. The bamboo forest and the Waimoku Falls are the two highlights. There's also a large old banyan tree on this trail that's really majestic. Spend some time in the bamboo forest so that you can hear the the spooky sound of the bamboo trees rustling against each other.
