What to bring for Waimea Canyon?

Created by Shaka Guide, Modified on Fri, 18 Aug, 2023 at 7:56 AM by Shaka Guide

Be sure to bring plenty of water since there are no potable water facilities along any of the trails. You’ll also want sunscreen and a hat since much of the canyon’s rim is in direct sunlight. 


Campers will need a rainfly since rainfall patterns can be somewhat unpredictable in Hawaii. Bring a coat or windbreaker, as well, since you’ll likely feel some windchill in this area.  If you’re headed down to the river, you’ll also want to bring bug spray.
