5 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedIf you’ve been to Hawaii, you’ve probably seen a few waterfalls, but this waterfall is particularly unique. It runs through Kauai’s red dirt instead of lush green jungle which is what you normally see. Stop by for a quick picture and then continue into the park.Iliau Nature Loop Trail
15 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedWhile you're on the trail, check out the interpretive signs that describe the native plants. The trail is actually named after a rare, exotic plant -- the iliau or Kaua'i greensword -- that is found nowhere else in the world but here on Kaua'i.Waimea Canyon Lookout

10 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedThis is the second of the two lookouts for Waimea Canyon. Here at the end of the parking lot is the trailhead for Canyon Trail. The trail signs are a little confusing, so read the description under Hiking in our app Highlights before hiking.Waimea Canyon Trail

15 minsAdmission Ticket Not IncludedHere you will find your first view of the glorious Na Pali Coast. However, don’t be upset if dense fog prevents you from seeing any views.

You might be thinking to yourself, what’s so cool about a ditch? Well, we’ll tell you the story of the Menehune who constructed this ditch thousands of years ago.Captain James Cook Statue
