Kauai’s Kipu Falls
Like water falls? Then don’t miss this gorgeous one on Kauai. To get to Kipu Falls, follow these directions: at the 3 mile marker on Highway 50 just past the town of Puhi, turn left onto Hulemalu Puhi Bypass Road then right onto Kipu Road. At the one lane bridge, park at the dirt road on the left. The road descends steeply to the. This area can be very muddy if it has been damp so be careful on this steep hill. Follow the stream bed for a half-mile and you will come to a spur trail that cuts across a large pool fed by the falls. The falls is ringed by a 20 foot cliff and a huge Banyan tree growing at the edge of the pool. While difficult to get to, the hike to this very secluded and interesting falls is well worth the effort. Be sure to stay off private property in the area by following the stream down to the falls area.
