Venues & Event Spaces in Haleiwa, HI

“I love recommending Waimea Valley for anyone visiting and planning on going to the North Shore-- it's more than just a hike with a waterfall. The area is so well-maintained with beautiful trees and native plants all around. You can stop at Hawaiian cultural spots like a kauhale or play some traditional Hawaiian makahiki games. Admission is $25 for adults if you're visiting and $10 for kama'aina with free admission every Thursday from 12-3pm for kama'aina. It's less of a hike and more of a leisurely stroll, great for people of all ages and active abilities. I think they even off a golf cart ride straight to the waterfall- which is $10 for each person one-way. The waterfall is cold... and you are forced to wear life jackets. But it is really fun and there's lifeguards on-site- making it the safest waterfall on the island. The waterfall isn't always swimmable, you can call them for swimming status which is determined everyday at 9 am. One of the highlights of my visit was seeing the alaeʻula, a native bird that makes their homes in the Waimea ponds. This area is so beautiful and I'm so grateful that this ahupua'a is being so well kept and teaches people about Hawaiian culture.”

“Went to the Eddy Big Wave invitational yesterday on North Shore in Waimea Bay. 60+ foot waves and tons of talent made for a maybe twice in a lifetime experience. The conditions have to be perfect for this event to even be held. 40 ft minimum required. Today was beyond exceptional. I got some great photos and videos from the VIP area. I highly recommend getting to North Shore if you go to Oahu. Also stop in Hale Eva if you're up there. Go to the North Shore Surf Shop. They will hook you up!”
