Worth the drive. - We had the place to ourselves. It was so relaxing. Water was too cold for my liking so we did not swim but we still had a great time. Worth the price.

Friendly and private - Kent greeted us when we arrived and gave us the lowdown on what to do, etc. He was super kind and friendly....more businesses need 'a Kent!' It was a short 10min walk down to the falls. Try to use sandals with traction, cause although most of the ttaily is grassy, some spots can get slippery when wet. The falls area is natural, all entries into water were natural rock formations. Without disturbing the natural setting, it would be so nice if once in a great while they scrub the rocks around the various entry points, so as to avoid slippage and injury. But that's just a wish-list item... They provide life vests if you feel you need them. Since its a provate area, there is a fee, but well worth it if you want to enjoy a crowd-free setting. They had nice and clean bathrooms with showers to clean up and change after a long swim, before getting back into your car. It was a wonderful experience. Thanks again Kent for the warm welcome...made all the difference!

Best falls on the island - The wife and I had amazing time! The drive from Hilo was beautiful and accommodations were more than expected from the paddle boards to showers after. We would definitely go back.

Great swimming in a waterfall experience! - Ages 15,20,50,55 and we all loved it. Private. Calm and beautiful. A great experience overall. The staff was helpful with the paperwork (that really should be filled out prior to getting there.)
