 Waimea Falls is located in the beautiful 1,800-acre Waimea Falls Park. In ancient times, the Hawaiians believed that Waimea had healing powers and they would bring their wounded soldiers to the waterfall and lay them in the water for healing. The water has a reddish tint due to the iron oxide found in the volcanic soil that flows down from the mountains by the Waimea River.
Professional cliff-divers provide an entertaining show as they climb the rock wall alongside the falls and then dive from 45 and 60 feet into the deep, cold pool below.
