Fantasy Island Falls – Wailua Falls, Kauai
Tucked in Kauai’s sacred Wailua River Valley — anciently called Wailuanuiaho‘āno (“Great Sacred Wailua of the chief Ho‘ano”) — this dramatic double waterfall stood at the heart of the island’s royal capital. For centuries it was home to powerful aliʻi (chiefs), heiau temples, and sacred birthing stones reserved exclusively for Hawaiian royalty.
Legends tell of warriors and aliʻi leaping from the top to prove their courage and strength.
The falls gained worldwide fame in the opening credits of the classic 1970s-80s TV series Fantasy Island. Today this iconic landmark is easily viewed from the scenic roadside overlook north of Lihue.
