Hipuapua Falls Hipuapua Falls is the other of two major waterfalls at the head of Halawa Valley. This gorgeous 500ft waterfall is harder to hike to than Moa'ula Falls as the guide mentioned as it was more of an "intense" experience. I've been told that during the summer (when the flash flood danger is low), the cultural hike may go slightly longer into the afternoon and include a visit to this falls. A separate spur trail with some strenuous scrambling over stream boulders flanked by steep cliffs goes to its base, but we never got the chance to do it. So our sightings of Hipuapua Falls were pretty much limited to either helicopter or glimpses of it during the cultural hike just to Moa'ula Falls.
