Wailua Valley & Waterfalls Audio Driving Tour

Wailua Falls - Wailua Falls is a stunning 173-foot waterfall surrounded by lush jungle forest.

This location is perfect for a quick photo opportunity as there is no hiking required to reach the falls.

It is one of the most breathtaking waterfalls on the island, making it a must-see stop.

Lydgate Beach Park - Lydgate Park is a fantastic destination for children of all ages. Young ones will adore the enormous Kamalani playground.

There are also rock-enclosed pools that provide a safe and enjoyable swimming experience.

These protective pools were designed to allow reef fish to freely come and go.

Poli’ahu Heiau - A sacred temple site within the Wailua Complex of Heiaus, Poliʻahu Heiau is thought to have been used for ritual and chiefly ceremonies. Although only stone foundations remain, the site holds significant spiritual importance and reflects Kauaʻi’s powerful ancient ruling center along the Wailua River.

‘Opaeka’a Falls - Situated in Wailua River State Park, ‘Opaeka’a Falls is a magnificent 150-foot waterfall cascading over volcanic basalt rocks.

This is another ideal spot for a photo opportunity right next to the parking area, as there is no hike to the falls.

Kauai’s Hindu Monastery - Located on the outskirts of Wailua State Park, there is a 363-acre Hindu monastery considered one of the most sacred sites in the Hindu religion.

The Kadavul Temple houses the largest quartz crystal on earth, surrounded by 108 golden statues of the Hindu god Siva.

Kuilau Ridge Trail - The Kuilau Ridge hike offers a relatively flat trail with a wide shaded path through an ancient forest.

Though it is quite lengthy, it is recommended to hike just the first mile or so.

Sleeping Giant Trail - The first is Sleeping Giant (Nounou Mountain) - West Trailhead. Technically, Sleeping Giant offers three hikes of varying difficulties, but this tour takes you to the Sleeping Giant West Trail, which is the easiest.

Ho’opi’i Falls - For those interested in hiking to a waterfall, consider skipping Sleeping Giant and heading directly to the nearby Ho’opi’i Waterfall Hike.

On this hike, you will wander along a forest trail until reaching the first of two waterfalls.

To swim, continue past the first fall to the second, where a rope swing is available for jumping into the pool below.
