About This Waterfall
Kawai Nui Stream drops down a series of five waterfalls on its way to the Pacific Ocean. The first and tallest is well over a thousand feet in height. As an added bonus, an unnamed side stream drops over an even taller waterfall, joining Kawai Nui Stream at the base of the first drop.
