Luakaha Falls Hike
Luakaha Falls – December 4, 2011 After the Puka and Notches, Nate and I decided to hike the Luakaha falls trail on Nuuanu Pali Drive. Luakaha falls is on private property. I never heard of anyone getting busted, but the falls is literally in someone’s backyard. Luakaha falls is a 50 foot waterfall that spills into a shallow pool. Near the pool is a huge yard which is manicured to perfection. The trail starts on Nuuanu Pali Drive. It is a short 5-7 minute hike to the top of the falls. top of falls Luakaha Falls There is one problem however, there was no define trail that lead down towards the base of the falls.
