Our Trip To Opaekaa Falls Kauai - Hawaii
Opaekaa Falls
ʻŌpaekaʻa Falls is a waterfall located on the Wailua River in Wailua River State Park on the eastern side of the Hawaiian island of Kauai. It is a 151--foot waterfall that flows over basalt from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. Below the ridge down into the ravine through which the water falls can be seen the vertical dikes of basalt that cut through the horizontal Koloa lava flows.[1] The name ʻŌpaekaʻa means rolling shrimp, ʻopae being Hawaiian for shrimp, and kaʻa for rolling. The name dates back to days when the native freshwater shrimp Atyoida bisulcata were plentiful in the stream and were seen rolling and tumbling down the falls and into the churning waters at the fall's base.[2][3]
Visually, this is a spectacular waterfall and is one of the island's few waterfalls that can be seen from the road. It flows year round and therefore is not seasonal. Most of the time it falls in a double cascade but the two sides may become one after a heavy rain. There is a highway overlook which provides a panoramic view of the 40-foot (12 m) wide falls and the valley below. The best time of day to see the falls is in full sunlight when the water sparkles the most. If the day is cloudy the view is less spectacular. Support Me Here At This Link

Spectacular Waterfalls of Kauai, Including Wailua and Opaekaa Falls
Kauai has many impressive waterfalls but most can't be viewed except by air. I paid them a visit, including the waterfall seen in the movie Jurassic Park, by helicopter on October 29, 2012 and took photos from the air. Wailua and Opaekaa are two of the island's most accessible major waterfalls and both are on the east coast. I paid them a visit by car on November 1, 2012 and shot video.

Visiting Wailua Falls, Waterfall in Hawaii, United States
Wailua Falls is a 173-foot[1] waterfall located near Lihue (Kauai, Hawaii) that feeds into the Wailua River. The waterfall is prominently featured on the opening credits of the television show Fantasy Island.
There are paths to the bottom of the falls, but it can be muddy and slippery. The trail further from the parking lot is less steep than the closer one. In ancient times, Hawaiian men would jump from the top of the falls to prove their manhood. Some people still leap off the top of the falls, though it is dangerous and illegal. The pool is great for swimming, but there are swift currents close to the waterfall. [2] There is another waterfall nearby named 'Opaeka'a Falls. For more info, visit this link:

Opaekaa Falls and Wailua River
Recorded January 18, 2004. The Wailua River is a long, slowly meadering river that starts at the Wai'ale'ale Crater and is fed by several tributaries on the way to the ocean. This is the only navigable river in all of Hawaii. Several forks in the river lead to waterfalls such as Opaekaa Falls which can be seen directly across from the scenic view of the river shown in this video.

Visiting Kipu Falls, Waterfall in East Kauai, Hawaii, United States
Kipu Falls is a waterfall in East Kauai, Hawaii. It is known for its easy access, serene pool, jumping cliff and rope swings. ' [1] Kipu Falls has a dangerous reputation due to recent drowning deaths where five people died at the location in a five-year span. Kipu Falls are also widely known for being the filming location of the famous introduction scene to the classic movie Raiders of The Lost Ark (The Falls can be seen at a close distance behind Indiana Jones Harrison Ford in this iconic shot).

Native Hawaiian History of Waimea Canyon Lookout in Kauai
Native Hawaiian History of Waimea Canyon in Kauai:
A Native Hawaiian charged with commercial vending in a state park says he was only practicing his religious and cultural rights.
Punohu Kekaualua III, of Wailuauka, had a dozen supporters in tow as he appeared at Kauai District Court on Wednesday to plead on a petty misdemeanor charge.
Kekaualua travels around the island each morning in native Hawaiian dress, to conduct religious and cultural activities. On Feb. 25, he was standing at Waimea Canyon lookout wearing a malo and spirit helmet when he was cited for commercial vending within the jurisdiction of Division of State Parks.
Officers of the DLNR Division of Conservation and Resources Enforcement issued the citation to Kekaualua. The violation is a petty misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of up to $1,000 and/or 30 days in jail.
“I don’t sell anything, so I don’t know how I got cited for commercial vending,” Kekaualua said. “I go out there every morning and got cited for practicing my religion.”
Kekaualua pleaded “innocent” and stated he is not guilty of anything. He said the citation was for trying to keep his culture alive.
Kekaualua was observing portents, or looking to the sea, land and sky for signs of something that could happen to inform the community down below, Edens said. To be barred from performing duties in Hawaiian dress in a Hawaiian place should be a hate crime, she added.
“The visitors were taking photos with him and they were dropping money in a bowl, and they called that commercial vending,” Edens said. “We are saying that he is performing his religious ceremonies and holy men have the right to receive alms.”
The Department of Land and Natural Resources previously identified Opaekaa Falls and Wailua Falls as two areas with increasing vending activity. It added that illegal vending was up on state land throughout Kauai.
DLNR considers illegal vending as a detrimental impact to a visitor’s experience at state parks, by decreasing accessibility, devaluing the wilderness experience and overusing resources.
Under DLNR regulations, commercial activity involves the use of, or activity in, a state park for which compensation is received by any person for goods or services rendered. This could include displaying merchandise, or in demanding or requesting gifts, money or services, or providing fee-based transportation to and from the parks.

Uluwehi Falls (aka Secret Falls) - Kayak & Hike, Kapa'a, HI - (March 2019)
One of the few planned activities we had on our Kauai trip was a kayak and hike tour to Secret Falls. The obvious thing to note on this adventure is that there is nothing secret about these falls anymore and is a well-known tourist destination with many companies offering guided tours at a very reasonable price.
We lucked out big time as the weather was great and had been dry for a few days so the ~1.5-mile trail to the falls was very easy with looks of spectacular scenery. The falls themselves are beautiful but be warned that the water at the base of the falls is MUCH colder than you would expect (and this coming from a Pacific Northwest perspective).
The guide company we used was Kauai Kayak Adventures. Thomas was our guide and was very insightful on the local history of the area and the ecology of Hawaii. We would definitely recommend them to any of our followers who find themselves in Kauai. Link to there website can be found below.
