Path from the back of the golf club parking lot is easiest. Left up the path just before the water tank, dont go around it. Youre going to go through a semi clearing with power lines running through the trees. Right after that, when you go over the big tree trunk blocking the path, GO RIGHT! The stone path continues straight but that is a path to confusion and backtracking. Save yourself an hour and go right. The falls are a beautiful sight.

Its an easy hike yo. We did it and it wasnt very difficult. Park in the church parking lot away from the actual church building. Waterfall at the end is your payout. WE HIKED IT AND YOU CANT DO ANYTHING THING ABOUT IT! I gave it a five star rating.

Easy parking at the golf course and the trail was very easy. Took my toddler and saw a few people with dogs. The waterfall isnt huge so dont expect to do any swimming but you can still play around in it. Overall fun morning excursion with the family!

Beautiful falls. But a couple of things everyone should take note of before going on this hike. 1. Take the road (Kionaole Rd) up to the bridge, you are going to take the path on the closer side of the bridge DO NOT TAKE THE SECOND PATH AFTER THE BRIDGE. 2. The path will be obvious and take you to the far side of the golf course people do NOT like hikers to the extent of locking the gate shut with a padlock to keep non-club members out.3. Continue on the path up the back of the golf course parking lot until you get to the water tower structure. 4. Make a left before you reach the water tower, other people have attempted to locate the falls and failed because they didnt take the correct path from this point. 5. When you get to the first split after the downed tree on the path go to the right. The path is easy and if you find yourself struggling to figure out the correct direction you probably made a wrong turn somewhere.The falls are beautiful and worth the trip wear shoes that you dont mind covering with red clay/mud.

The hike is short and easy, waterfall is not that big.

Short hike to a beautiful waterfall. You can continue on to the H3 underpass. The brush is thick most of the way to the underpass.

Easy short hike from the parking lot. A bit muddy, but nothing difficult. 3 year old and 19 m/o walked it themselves. Waterfall itself is a great and peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the day.

Its a popular trail so be prepared to wait for pictures without other people. The earlier you get there the better. Beautiful waterfall hike.

Cute falls. Nice romantic spot. The trail gets muddy very easily, but a very easy hike.

Awesome little short hike. Very kid friendly and dog friendly. Gate to the church opens at 6am so you can access the trail entrance. I dont think an early hike here is necessary. Not busy and shaded the whole way!

We missed where the fork is. Its a pretty sharp turn. Theres like three trees down and an orange marker on the right side where it turns. Overall a really nice hike and BEAUTIFUL falls.

Short but sweet hike!

Rtrrrrrwrte you tell a i you rewt me xr you resumeh

Beautiful falls once you get to them. Just be sure to go to the right when the trail forks

Nice hike, a bit muddy and slippery. The views were magnificent. The waterfall was smaller then we expected, but the kids still enjoyed playing in the water.

Much better if you start at the Pali lookout. You will run across remnants of the original Pali hwy.

It was difficult to find, the entrance for the trailhead is near the Koolau golf club and Presbyterian church. The hike itself is very easy, but you can get easily lost on this one. Make sure you turn right by the carved tree it seems like youre going off trail, but you will hear the falls and it will be muddy. If the trail goes dry you went the wrong way. The falls is really cool and you can take pictures and climb up, this was a great photo spot!

Very fun and short with a great pay off. Definitely muddy so hiking shoes are highly recommended. Turn left onto the path before you get to what looks like a water reservoir (has graffiti). Keep going along the path until you see blue arrow on a tree pointing the right. The area is foresty and damp/muddy so bug repellant is suggested. It isnt very long and many people had their young children and dogs. Definitely 5 stars for someone who wants to be in nature and isnt going for the difficulty or length of the trail.

Truly enjoyable, rougher terrain with roots and branches on sections of the hike, falls were flowing full, great scenery, picture opts.Wear good waking shoes that can get muddy, and water shoes if you want to step in the water at the basin.

Cool off the beaten path trail. When we went up in the afternoon there was nobody else there. We had to ask someone who worked at the church and golf course where the trail was. When we went up the road to the large water tank (like a water tower, but on the ground) the trail head was on the left right before the tank.The path is cool and kept up well enough, but also a little overgrown to give you a cool jungle feel. At one point youll see a tree with a bunch if carvings in it. One if the carvings says Likeke ->. Take that right turn and youll get there eventually.The falls were a little underwhelming, but the hike was really cool and relatively short.

Short walk to falls easy access

Great hike! Moderately easy. Walked with my 2 year old the whole way up. (Holding her hand of course. Get very muddy;lace your shoes up tight! On the way up make a right at tree with carvings shown in pic. Waterfall is beautiful and refreshing so jump in!

It is easy to take a wrong turn, but once you find the falls, Likeke Falls is beautiful.

Quick, easy, fun little hike to beautiful waterfall. Guarantee there will be mud

Super fun and pretty. Perfect for my three year old and for baby wearing.

Turn at the spray painting tree on your right!!!!!!!!Got lost but it’s such an easy kid friendly hike if you don’t!

It was a nice hike and the spring water fall was nice great view when you get to fall

There are no pictures that can do this place justice. The hike is managable by most people, the path is marked moderately well and the whole experience seems like one of the hidden secrets since its not crowded and lacking of trash.Its a great jungle experience that makes you feel like an extra in an Imdiana Jones movie.There are no park fees, parking fees nor conservancy fees... Just unadulterated nature that you have to take a little effort to find.Aloha

Beautiful secluded spot, easy hike for the whole family. One caveat though, we missed the trail fork and ended up following a trail that ended nowhere. The correct trail is an easy hike and very jungley. The water is ice cold and therer are no pools large enough to get into. We loved it.

Pretty cool, short hike. SERIOUSLY, dont miss the carved tree, it is BEFORE the end of the cobblestone! See pictures!

Recommended for anyone with children or first time hikers. Gentle incline. Jungle feel without poisonous creatures. Waterfall is right amount of splash, temperature, and noise. Gorgeous scene. Very fun. Remember to bring extra shoes/towels for the car ride home.

Good jungle hike. That leads to a secluded waterfall.

This hike was okay. My husband and I got lost on the way there which wasnt fun. It made the small waterfall not really worth t once we finally found it.

Always a good quick hike.

Cool place .. NOTE: take a right at the carved tree. It has a couple of smaller arrows on it that can be missed .. we obviously missed the turn the first time .. still fun & challenging trail to no where if you miss the turn. Falls were AWESOME !

Very beautiful Falls that I wonderful to see money if its wet out to get up to but makes the journey so much more interesting a lot of fun very slippery on the way down kick a walking stick just for your own safety

Nice waterfall accessed via a short hike from a church/country club parking lot. I prefer more secluded places and longer hikes, but this is perfect for kids and non-hikers. The surrounding jungle is lush and beautiful.

Beautiful, easy hike. Great for younger children. So short, and the falls at the end are an amazing payoff. Water is just deep enough for kids to splash around safely.

Trail is always muddy because the foliage is so thick the ground rarely dries out so you need to prepare to get muddy. You dont need full hiking boots but hike in flip flops at your own risk. Good one for kids because its short

Love this hike. Short and easy but feels like your in the middle of the jungle. Muddy, ducking under vines, vine tunnels, hoping over streams, and then a beatiful little waterfall at the end.

Beautiful hike pretty views very simple easy in my mind we have done it alot

Likeke Falls is an always flowing nice waterfall.Its an easy and short family friendly hike.Usually I take friends here who dont want to do a longer waterfall hike, but still want to enjoy a nice stroll.

Extraordinarily slippery when rained-on. Deep Oahu mud means your shoes will be soaked and so caked in red clay that you will have to throw them away. hou vines are very thick meaning that everyone will have to bend low, and anyone over 6 feet will very likely get snagged by the branches. Bring hiking poles for stability. Falls are short (30 feet) and narrow. Small pool at the base is pleasant but nothing special.

I am used to much bigger falls but how could anyone hate on this little beauty!

One of my favorite spots to relax to the sounds of nature

Trailhead starts above the church parking lot, then go to the left just before the large water tank. Then be sure to take the fork on the right later on to get to the falls. There is a large tree just past that fork with an arrow pointing the right way.

Very muddy after the rain but the hike is relatively easy. We saw a huuuge bee hive on our way up and down. Just stay calm and they wont bother you. Dont swat at them! Falls were small but nice and cool on a hot day. Lots of mosquitos so wear long sleeves and pants if you are prone to getting bit. They had no regard for our bug spray and after taking a dip in the water it washes off anyway.

Amazing little hike with a very beautiful waterfall, the family loved it

An easy hike through the lush greens to a beautiful waterfall! Be careful of the mosquito s!

Easy to hike my 3year old daughter and I did it in less than 1hr. There an back.

Easy but beautiful short hike

Short half mile hike up but muddy and slippery so be careful! Worth the hike!

Really good family hike if you start at Koolua golf course. Dont go on Sunday morning though because you cant park in the parking lot!

Not bad

Easy hike and the falls are really pretty. Great for kids.

A neat off the beaten path area. Much more than just the falls here.

Fun short hike but a storm on 2/11/17 knocked down tons of trees making the hike more challenging. Wear shoes with some traction for the few short steep muddy sections and bring bug repellant.

Beautiful place

Likeke Falls:This is a pretty easy and short hike to one of Oahus falls (there arent a lot of them).What makes this hike interesting is that it takes you back through history. The hike starts at Nu uanu Pali Lookout where the battle for Hawaii was won in 1795 and culminated in hundreds of men, women, and children being pushed off its cliff.Originally this route was an ancient Hawaiian footpath over the Pali Pass and one of the only safe passages over the steep Koʻolau cliffs. In 1845 stones were laid and the footpath was widened so carts and horses could transports goods to and from the windward side to Honolulus port. Later, in 1897 the old one lane Pali road was built. Then in 1958, after the completion of the Pali tunnels, the old road was closed .Just to the right of the lookout you will find the old Pali road and this is where the trail begins. Following the road until some boulders lead you to a sharp left turn and then down a ladder under the hwy to the other side where you reconnect with the old road again. Once you reach the 3 way intersection the actual trail begins by a concrete wall on the left side of the road.The trail is beautiful, full of lush green vegetation, quite different from the ridgeline trails. Just prior to turning off to the left (at the carved tree) and heading to the falls, you will begin walking on the old stone pathway. Im always amazed by cultures like the Incas, Myans, Hawaiians, and others that built great roadways from stones like this.The falls themselves are small compared to many of Hawaiis other falls, but this was still a beautiful and tranquil hike.

Its a very short hike but worth it. The trail isnt steep at all but Im recommend bringing a second pair of shoes if it recently rained because it can get very muddy and make your shoes will make your car very dirty

Not big, but a easy hike.

Been there its a fun hike or not her best pictures of over no way

Hard to find but really beautiful and worth it!
