Another must-see on Kauai is Wailua Falls. The height of the falls is a little difficult to guess from this photo, but it is about 173 feet. There was quite a high volume of water going over the falls when we were there in November. A Google image search will show you many photos with much less water. This also meant that there was a lot of dirt in the water so the falls had brown streaks in them. I decided to convert to black and white to make that not so obvious. Plus, waterfalls just generally tend to look good in black and white.

If you enjoy my photographs please consider making a purchase. All of the proceeds from the sale will go directly to help support our friends volunteering at the Seed of Hope in South Africa which is a great organization really making a difference in the community. Every little bit makes a difference, even a small digital download for your desktop!

[…] too far from Wailua Falls is another waterfall called Opaeka’a Falls. You can’t get as close to these ones […]
Lovely shot.
Thank you!
