If you were disappointed by not getting to see Waipo'o Falls head-on, this much smaller waterfall is a nice consolation prize. It's just a short distance from the main waterfall. Watch your footing in bad weather; this trail can get slippery, fast.

This small waterfall is only a few meters behind the head of the main waterfall. It’s situated in a nice and tranquil location.

From here it is only a short distance to the first large step of Waipo'o Waterfall. You can climb down in just a few minutes. But be careful on the edge, risk of falling.
