Wailua Falls

Like other outstanding Kauai film locations, Wailua Falls is most known for its appearance in the television show "Fantasy Island."

Because it is one of Kauai's most easily accessible waterfalls, visiting Wailua Falls is a popular pastime. To reach there, use Maalo Road in Hanamaulu north of Lihue. For about 3 miles, go upward.

If you'll be able to see the sun is at the proper angle, you could see a rainbow spreading through the mist from the foot of the falls.

Wailua Falls is around 85 feet high and descends into a pool over 30 feet deep. They're best observed from the overlook above, but not to even attempt diving down this waterfall!
