About Kalihiwai Falls
Kalihiwai Falls is a multi-tiered waterfall on a tributary that feeds the Kalihiwai River.
Since the best view of the falls sits on private land and I wasn’t able to book the private excursion to get closer to this falls, I had to settle for the rather subpar view you see at the top of this page. A telephoto lens (which I didn’t have at the time) would’ve helped with the photography immensely. Yet I’m pretty sure it would’ve been unsatisfying nonetheless.
So in order to get that view at the top of this page, I had to park the car in a suitable spot (see directions below), and then walk down the busy Hwy 56 towards the Kalihiwai River Bridge. During this walk, I had to breathe in exhaust fumes from passing motorists while also staying as far as I could from the road (harder to do when on the bridge itself) so I wouldn’t become roadkill. Needless to say the 50mph speed limit was clearly not adhered to, and I even caught strange looks from passing motorists. If I feel up for it, next time I’ll try to book the private excursion…
I understand that this used to be a waterfall that people got to visit without paying anything (like at Kipu Falls). However in matters such as this where it’s really up to the landowners what they want to do (e.g. choose to make at least some money off the attraction or close it off altogether), I guess it was only a matter of time before this one became restricted.
