Kuamo'o Road
Wailua, East Kauai

Located off the north branch of the Wailua River, this fall is not accessible by river or trail. An overlook, however, off Kuamo'o Road provides an excellent and safe viewing area. The falls flow year-round, unlike many waterfalls on the island that are dependent on heavy rains.

The best viewing time for these lacy falls is mid-morning when the sun is in the proper position for photographing this picture-perfect site.

The name dates back from days when shrimp swarmed the river and were seen rolling in the turbulent waters at the base of the falls.

There are no trails down to the falls - many have tried but without success.
