Wear good walking shoes, Carry plenty water for the day, and a lunch.
It gets to be a mob scene at the end of the road/ first part of the trail, by about 9 am so it's worthwhile to get an early start. The earlier the better. Plenty of shade on the trail in the morning.
Plenty of other falls around too. But Hanakapiae is one of the best.

NaPali is a great hike. And yes the trail can be very rugged/rocky. If you do go to the waterfall and swim in the pool be advised that the bottom is not flesh friendly (IIRC). Further beware of the weathered lava around some of the beaches, it is razor sharp. Flip flops are NOT recommended.
