The falls were beautiful, easy to drive to and look at. We were there in the rainy season and they were full and flowing but not as tall as we expected. We were the only ones by the edge of the road looking at them. We turned the car around and drove back to the main highway, not far away.

Beautiful falls very close to the Lihue airport. We went to the falls right after we arrived at Lihue airport and picked up our car. It is an easy 15-30mins drive by car and there is a small parking area where you can park and go to the viewing area to see the waterfalls from the top. There is not much else to do after you've seen the falls, so we drove back and stopped at a fruit stand on the way back. We spent about 30mins max at the falls.

The falls were pretty. Because of all the rain, the falls were powerful. You can only view them. You cannot hike into them. The visit is free and there is limited parking but since views don’t take long, parking should open quickly. I would like to give a heads up. We were the third car in the lot. The weather was not great. We parked parallel with the vehicle next to us. The Hope bracelet asked us to straighten. My husband moved the vehicle to straighten and make it shorter walk since I was on crutches. As I was seeing the falls, I heard the man screaming at my husband that he parked crooked. His language was not PG and he kept yelling nasty things and calling us names because we parked crooked (no lines and we thought we were straight)! He even told me I didn’t belong there since I couldn’t walk. Another group waited in their car until we were safely in ours before they left. They were worried for our safety. We were the last of three cars to leave and no one else showed. The falls are worth a stop but be mindful if this gentleman is there and do not engage in conversation!

beautiful falls. Some really cool birds flying below too. The afternoon we went there was plenty of parking in the lot and people parked along side the road. There were 2 local sellers at the top with palm hats and leis. You can only look at the falls here, so it’s a quick stop. There used to be a hike to the bottom but now there are fences everywhere. It’s unfortunate because I bet it’s beautiful from the bottom. But this is a cool quick stop overall.

This was worth the drive to see. It was very tight and limited parking however we got there early in the morning so we got lucky and someone left right as we were coming in. You can’t hike down it’s too dangerous so you have to admire it from afar but we brought binoculars to see it up close too! We saw a mama chicken with its babies and my kids were so excited to see that. There was a local man there making and selling jewelry but he wasn’t very friendly didn’t say hello, or anything we likely would have purchased if he was friendly. However, the waterfall is stunning!!

Seeing Wailua Falls was the very last stop on this island, and I’m so glad we made time for it. It’s very easy to find and the waterfall is beautiful! Parking is a little difficult if it’s busy when you come because the road is narrow and the parking lot is very small. If a car is trying to pull into the parking lot and another car is trying to leave, one of the cars will have to back up to let the other car through. During our visit, there were some vendors selling fresh mango, pineapple, and banana bread. There was also a man making hats out of palms. My husband wanted one, so we waited for the man to finish weaving it. When he was finished, we went to pay and the man wanted to trade the newly made palm hat plus $10 for my husband’s Yellowstone National Park hat. He made the trade and both my husband and the man were so happy with their new hats!

I at least wanted to see the falls that are in the intro to Fantasy Island! You view them from the top or you can break the law, evidently, and hike down what must be a steep hike to the pool at the bottom. Spend maybe 20 or 30 minutes and that’s it. It’s easy to get to so make the trip.

With so many waterfalls on Kauai; Wailua Falls was an easy choice for us to visit. We had just completed the Outdoor Adventures Mountain Tubing, and Wailua Falls is just a short trip up the road, and is easy viewing right from the side of the road. The falls did not disappoint. They were beautiful! Highly recommend visiting these falls. Although we did not have an issue with parking; spaces could be difficult to find.
