What other travelers are saying about Hiji Waterfall
Remarkable and yet magical location. Still went on the adventure even though the park was closed down. A lot of the trail is eroded away. Still recommend. About 1.5 miles from the parking lot to the waterfall, about 45 minutes regular hiking pace.
Great short hike to a beautiful waterfall. We went at the end of August and we were hot but not unbearably so.
The water was so clear. It was tempting to jump into the water throughout the hike! There is an area designated to play in the creek not too far from the entrance, so if you want to get wet, that’s the spot to do it.
I surprisingly had NO bug bites. Mosquitos usually flock to me but there weren’t any!
Path was well-maintained. There was never any question of which direction to go.
Definitely recommend doing this hike if you are in the area!
Nice hike of 4.2km go and back. Beautiful walk along a river leading to waterfalls in the middle of the forest. Expect some going up and down and quite a few steps.
Good for families.
Pets not allowed.
Entrance fee to pay by cash only.
⚠️ Attention this is not the access by car, for the right location look for Hiji Falls Gate. There are 3 parkings.
Hijio Falls is a great little hike that is well maintained and beginner friendly.
It is a steep hike up some stairs at some points but overall it’s not too long and probably took us around 40min there and back while also stopping for pictures.
The trail is absolutely beautiful with the amount of nature around it.
UPDATE: ROAD WAY AND PATHS MAY BE CLOSED DUE TO FLOODING/LANDSLIDES
If you are going to go just be mindful that this hike or campground area may be closed. There are plenty of short hikes or nice long one up in the National Yanbaru Park. I wanted to let everyone know as we had driven there and saw a sign that said closed since 2024 I felt bad when I watched other tourists approach in a taxi they paid for and had to be driven elsewhere. You can still park just before the campground if you need a spot of quiet area near the river. Unsure if overnight parking is allowed for vehicle camping.
