Beautiful! Easy drive to get up there. Parking is a bit tight but people don’t stay long after getting pictures. This is one of many areas with waterfalls on Kauai.Full review by Pam H

The trail near the overlook is really steep and dangerous. People have been seriously injured trying it. Just before you get to the overlook, there is a cane haul bridge. Just before this bridge, on the right hand side, is a trail that will take you to the bottom of the falls. It is very difficult, but better than the suicide trails near the overlook. It is signed that it is closed and unlawful to use, but a few people do it anyway.
