Wailua Falls
 Wailua Falls (not to be confused with the same named falls in Maui) is one of the most easily-accessible yet beautiful waterfalls on Kaua'i. It has a very pleasant double-barreled shape, and I believe it flows year round so it is easily a popular tourist attraction. Although officially listed at 80ft by the State of Hawai'i, the authors of The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook have said they've measured the height to be 173ft - twice! Regardless of its height, this is a drive-to waterfall and definitely worth a look. However, you may be tempted to seek a way to the bottom of the falls. There are a couple of unofficial ways of doing so even though we didn't try it so we can't really say anything more about that. For us, the views from the top were good enough. If you consider trying to get to the top or bottom of the falls past the barricades discouraging you to go, consider that people have died at these falls before. Therefore, you'd be going at your own risk.
