What travelers say:

Wailua River Heritage is a beautiful and historic area on Hawaii's lovely island. The Wailua River is considered one of the most sacred places on the island and is of great significance to the ancient Hawaiians. The Wailua River is the only river in Hawaii that can be sailed, and is an important transportation and trade route for ancient Hawaiians. There are also many cultural and historical sites on the river, including Wailua Complex of Heiaus, which is a national historical site. We first drove to the viewing platform of Opaekaa Falls, and the view of the waterfall was good. The name Opaekaa means "rolling shrimp", which is suitable because the waterfall is located in an area where there were once large numbers of shrimps. The waterfall is about 150 feet high and surrounded by lush tropical vegetation. Then we walked from the observation deck to a small observation deck across the road, and there was a better view of the North Fork of the Wailua River. Also available on cruise ships, explore the river and learn about its history and culture. The area also offers many recreational activities including kayaking, standing paddleboarding and swimming.
