Opaekaa Falls, Kauai

Opaekaa Falls drops about 150 feet into a green valley above Wailua. The roadside lookout on Kuamoo Road gives a view across to the falls, so there’s no hike required.

A short walk uphill and across the road leads to another lookout over the Wailua River valley. With picnic tables and restrooms at the falls viewpoint, this is an easy pair of stops when exploring the east side.
