World Botanical Gardens Trails and Special Areas

Umauma Triple Waterfalls

Umauma Triple Waterfalls

Our road to the waterfall is lined with bananas, native Koa trees, Kukui Nut trees, and other native Hawaiian plants. The area can be accessed by wheelchair. There are 2 picnic areas (upper and lower) near the waterfall overlook.

The falls demonstrate the geologic process by which high waterfalls are created, in that it consists of 3 separate falls which are slowly retreating up slope. As the lower 2 falls catch up with the larger upper falls, it will become comparable in height to the neighboring Akaka falls, some 200,000 years in the future.
