  • Grabbed some friends and we set off to hike from Waipi'o Valley to Waimanu Valley and with a couple nights of camping. The Muliwai Trail is 19.9 miles and 5,541 feet elevation gain, round trip. We relaxed with a campsite view of the waterfalls at the back of the valley, drank coffee and lilikoi margarita's watching the ocean waves roll in, and explored the remote wonders of this side of island.

    Planning on doing this. I have a few questions: 1) I saw you guys trapped some prawns, did you bring the prawn trap, or was it already there? And how did it taste like? 2) I am assuming nobody goes there often as it is remote, were you the only ones camping when you stayed? 3) Did it rain at all when you were there? I saw you had a tarp over your hammock. 4) Mosquitos at night? Can you make your bon fire?

      Aloha, I actually did another backpacking trip in April 2024 to Waimanu Valley. So here is the up to date info. 1. the prawn trip used to be there, but I did not see it last month, I'd bring your own just in case. 2. Last month there were 4 others on our first night, and then a large group (~10 people) up on a Saturday night. If you want the place to yourself go mid-week. Yes, its the windward side of the island, always plan for rain! Mosquitos are not a problem at the campsite, but are prevalent at the drinking water source waterfall. Yes, each campsite has a campfire area. You need a permit to camp and figure out logistics of how to get down into Waipio Valley. Good luck, happy trails!

    The two tier fall is not Waihilau. One cannot see Waihilau from the valley front.

      Is it Wai‘ilikahi Falls?

      @@shoredivingalongthekonacoa6450 Yes. Wai'ilikahi is the one with the nice pool to swim in. Starting from the beach heading inland.. the first fresh water is from Keawewai spring; where most will collect water for drinking. Then there is Wai'ilikahi, then Kaka'auki, followed by Lahomene, and lastly Waihilau.
