Many waterfalls and river terraces on Kauai lie near pa and lo‘i (ancient settlement and taro terraces), reflecting centuries of Hawaiian riverine life.
Conservation

Bring proper footwear
Wear closed-toe water shoes with good tread — trails are often wet, rocky and rooty; flip-flops are not advised.
Protect your gear
Use a waterproof phone case or dry bag for cameras; your guide will advise safe shooting distances near cascades.
Confirm meeting point
Double-check the pick-up/beach lifeguard stand location 24 hours before departure — times and start points can change with weather.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a small water bottle and energy snack; the active pace and humid climate dehydrate quickly even on short outings.
Water shoes
Provides traction on slippery rocks and protection while wading to pools.
