Whether you’re a longtime local or a first-time tourist, you will find all kinds of unforgettable excursions on the island of Oahu Hawaii, during spring break. In fact, there is a reason so many hotels and businesses offer special rates to residents, or Kama’aina—they love taking “staycations” because there is no reason to leave. If you’re planning a trip or staycation in March or April, add the waterfall at Waimea Valley to the itinerary. Swimming under this picturesque 40-foot fall is the perfect way to kick off spring break for the whole family.

Why You Should Visit Waimea Valley & Its Breathtaking Waterfall Over Spring Break

1. Unique Adventure

How many people can say they have floated underneath an actual waterfall? At Waimea Valley, visitors have the opportunity to don a life jacket and take a dip in the tranquil pool just beneath the waterfall. If you live in Hawaii, it might not be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but those visiting the islands for spring break should take advantage of the opportunity in February or March.

2. Great Photo

Your spring break might only be a week long, but the photographs that you take will last forever. Whether you’re a fan of candid action shots or posed portraits, you’ll have plenty of chances to take fabulous pictures as you explore the falls and walk around the rest of Waimea Valley’s botanical gardens and cultural sites.

3. Learning Experience

The point of spring break might be to unwind, especially if you’re currently enrolled in school, but exploring the culture of native Hawaiians at Waimea Valley is nothing like sitting in a classroom and listening to a lecture. If you want to have a truly enriching experience during your trip, be open to learning something new about Hawaiian traditions and ceremonies. You can be pleasantly surprised at just how much fun learning can be when it is engaging and interactive.

Of course, the waterfall isn’t the only tourist attraction worth checking out at Waimea Valley in Haleiwa.
