OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
tranquil Wailua River weaves by gorgeous
waterfalls and lush, jungle landscapes along
the east side of Kauai. Kauai has the only
navigable rivers in Hawaii, and the Wailua
River is one of the most popular.
The Wailua River is fed by two main
waterfalls: Opaekaa and Wailua Falls. The
scenic river itself can be explored by kayak
or canoe, and several boat tours are also
available. Open-air boats also offer guided
tours of the Fern Grotto alongside the
river, a natural lava rock cave sheltered by
draping ferns. This romantic area is a
popular wedding venue. |
