Wailua Falls

About

Wailua Falls is the first waterfall we will visit on this tour. These twin falls are one of the largest and most accessible waterfalls on Kaua'i. Plunging over a hundred feet off a cliff, Wailua Falls offers a very dramatic view.


Fun Fact: Wailua Falls was featured in the opening scene of the popular 1970s TV show Fantasy Island!


The name Wailua in Hawaiian means “two waters”. Some say that this represents the two forks of this great river, or the meeting of two waters – fresh water & salt water at the river mouth. But some historians suggest that Wailua was named after the great 14th century chief, Wailua Nui Aho’anu.


Standing below Mt. Kawaikini and Mt. Wai’ale’ale, which is the wettest place on earth, Wailua Falls flows year round with an abundant supply of water. If you are lucky, you will see a rainbow over the falls. It is a real treat.
