Opeakaa Falls is part of the north branch of the Wailua River, the 151-foot falls span 40 feet wide and are easily observed at the Opeakaa Falls overlook off of Kuamoo Road. Ample parking and a small sidewalk offer safe viewing of the falls and a view of Wailua River from a small lookout on the opposite side of Kuamoo Road.
The falls flow throughout the year. The name Opaeka’a means rolling shrimp.
