Wailua Falls - The lookout on Maaolo road in Hanamaulu faces twin falls of 80 feet that cascade to a clear pool below. In ancient times, the Hawaiian chiefs would dive into the pool from the cliff to prove their courage.
The island of Kauai, the oldest and most northerly of the Hawaiian Islands chain, which includes, Niihau, Oahu, Molokai, Lanai, Kahoolawe, Maui and Hawaii, offers the exotic scenery that most people associate with the islands. Movie makers have often used the lush beauty of Kauai as a backdrop for films as it has a pristine quality all its own.

"At night they feasted and the girls danced the lascivious hula hula -- a dance that is said to exhibit the very perfection of educated motion of limb and arm, hand, head and body, and the exactest uniformity of movement and accuracy of "time." It was performed by a circle of girls with no raiment on them to speak of, who went through with an infinite variety of motions and figures without prompting, and yet so true was their "time," and in such perfect concert did they move that when they were placed in a straight line, hands, arms, bodies, limbs and heads waved, swayed, gesticulated, bowed, stooped, whirled, squirmed, twisted and undulated as if they were part and parcel of a single individual; and it was difficult to believe they were not moved in a body by some exquisite piece of mechanism."
Ha'aheo ka ua i na pali,
Proudly sweeps the rain clouded by the cliffs,
Ke nihi a'e la i ka nahele,
As onward it glides through the trees,
E uhai ana paha i ka liko,
It seems to be following the liko,
Pua ahihi lehua a o uka.
The ahihi lehua of the vale.
(Chorus)
Aloha 'oe, aloha 'oe,
Farewell to thee, farewell to thee,
E ke onaona noho i ka lipo,
Thou charming one who dwells among the bowers.
One fond embrace a ho'i a'e au,
One fond embrace before I now depart
Until we meet again.
Until we meet again.
