Great reward for a challenging hike. Just remember, you still have to go back. Much caution is needed for slippery rocks.

Well worth the journey in! You should visit the napali state park regardless of you’re in Kauai and this should be a highlight if you don’t make it to Kalalau beach. These falls are incredible and definitely well worth your time. The stunning 300ft waterfall makes the hard hike well worth your time. Don’t miss this one. Have decent trip shoes.
