Opaeka’a Falls Wailua
The 151 foot falls span 40 feet wide and can be observed at the overlook. The parking lot leads to a small sidewalk offering safe viewing of the falls. Another outlook is located across the road with views of Wailua River. The falls flow throughout the year. The name Opaeka’a means rolling shrimp. Long ago, native freshwater shrimp were plentiful and could be seen rolling down the falls.
Such a calm, peaceful strikingly beautiful location. I’m sure the picnic tables get used in the parking area when the bugs take a lunch break.

I use a combination of my iPhone and my Fujifilm X-E2 camera for all my photographs. Just depends on where I am as to which one I'll use to take my pictures with. I love to write original stories combined with my photographs. If you'd like to send me a message or comment, please do so at; maggie@hungryones.com We just celebrated our 14th Anniversary this October 2016!! So exciting!! 2015 A couple since 2003 and now on the precipice of this new journey, our fondest hope is this website serves a purpose. One of useful information presented in an elegant, beautiful photographic setting. Together we love to discover new restaurants, food trucks, diners, café’s, huts or where ever we find food being served. The love of artful, carefully crafted, passionately orchestrated food, beverages and let’s not forget desert, Is something we both enjoy immensely. Immersing ourselves in the history, culture and surrounding locations of our adventures hopefully leads to not only meeting new people, but making new friends, sharing ideas, listening to stories and learning something new everyday.

Yes they are! I remember the water was surprisingly cold.
