Upper Ho’opi’i Falls is a small waterfall along Kapa’a Stream. It’s near the town of Kapa’a on the east side of Kauai. I’ve been to +16 islands, and this has to be the prettiest waterfall I have ever experienced. When I was crossing the top of the falls, I fell, gear and all. Luckily I was able to absorb most the impact of my gear

Kawaihau

If you're spending some time in Kawaihau, Kealia Forest Reserve and Kapahi Park are top sights worth seeing.

The beauty of the island and aloha spirit seems to be everywhere OTHER than at Kauai Shores Hotel. Go elsewhere to stay if you oh want a peaceful vacation.
