Wailua Falls
A roadside waterfall with twin streams, featured in the opening credits of the TV series *Fantasy Island*. Parking at the lookout is all it takes to see it.
Wailua Falls lies about 6 km north of Līhuʻe, on the south branch of the Wailuā River. Two streams fall side by side about 25 metres from the cliff into a deep pool. The waterfall became famous through the opening credits of the American TV series *Fantasy Island*. Drive along Route 583 to its end, where the lookout is. You can photograph the falls simply by parking, and rainbows often appear in the morning sunshine. The path down to the base of the falls is steep, slippery and dangerous, and it is not open, so please do not go down. Admission is free, but parking is limited.
