Something for everyone - My wife and her sister swam at the falls. My son, his wife, and my brother in law enjoyed the trails. My mobility issues kept me at the lodge where I spent the day painting watercolors.

Kulaniapia Falls - The views were amazing! We went first thing in the morning and we were the only ones there. I couldn’t believe it! Unfortunately it rained before we got there and we couldn’t swim or kayak that day. But we’re were already expecting that. We were given a refund on the kayaks right away. It was fine that we couldn’t swim in the water though because the area was just stunning. We stayed for a few hours and just enjoyed everything. We will be coming back again closer to summer to enjoy it again. It was extremely easy to get to as well. About a 10 minute drive to downtown Hilo. The drive up to the falls is equally beautiful there is also a little farm right before you get to the waterfall that has a gift shop. The photos I posted don’t due the waterfall justice.

Serene and relaxing experience - We found out about the day pass by accident and we felt so lucky. We were literally the only two there for hours enjoying the waterfall and paddle boarding. Such a serene and relaxing experience.

Amazing Hawaii - This place is just amazing ! Cannot get over how beautiful and how polite everyone is on the Hawaiian Islands. Visited all the islands on a 14 day cruise from Long Beach CA. Rented a car on several of the islands, could not afford the excursions off the ship.

Up Close and personal Waterfall experience! - Beautiful grounds and very nice staff. We just did the day pass…. Did not stay there. The water was murky and chilly…. Which most waterfalls are like that! Easy access, walking paths to waterfall and gardens are well maintained. They also allowed us to use their patio for eating our lunch and it had a wonderful view too! Very clean bathrooms with showers!

Unable to dock on our cruise ship - We booked our trip from our cruise ship the day before and the day of our ship announced in the morning we would not be able to get off the ship. We called immediately and we’re not able to get a refund. Very disappointed.
