Manawaiopuna Falls - Jurassic Falls

The magnificent waterfall is a towering 400-foot cascade of water that fans out over a rocky face into a tranquil pool surrounded by lush vegetation. Next to the main falls is a smaller, slightly shorter waterfall.

Located in the Hanapepe Valley on privately-owned land, Manawaiopuna Falls can only be accessed via a helicopter tour. (Situated on private land in an inaccessible area of Kauai, hiking to the falls is not an option.) There are several helicopter tour companies that visit the falls, but only one tour company, Island Helicopters, has permission to land.
