Wailua Falls

Frommer's Review

For those looking for a short trip out of Lihue to see cascading waterfalls but who don't want to hike into the wilderness, this is your best bet. In fact, the journey here, about a 4-mile drive outside of town, takes you through rolling hills past former sugar-cane fields and across a valley, with majestic mountains in the background. From the Wailua Falls parking lot you can look down at two waterfalls cascading some 80 feet into a large pool. Legend claims that the alii (royalty) came to these waterfalls and dived from the cliff into the pool below to show the common people that monarchs were not mere men. Don't try this today.
