Waipoo Falls (Waipo'o Falls)
 Waipoo Falls (or Waipo'o Falls) is a towering waterfall viewed from a distance as you drive the Waimea Canyon Road (Hwy 550). There are several places along the road allowing you to get views of this waterfall from the ground. Among the overlooks are the busy Waimea Canyon Lookout as well as the Pu'u Ka Pele Lookout. You'll probably want some pretty strong zoom on your lens in order to get decent photos of the falls. They flow only in the winter or after heavy rains. If you shell out for a helicopter tour, you can get a much closer look at the waterfall as well. There is also a trail that goes above this waterfall though it's probably not desirable if your only intention is to get a closer look at this impressive falls.
