Hanakapiai Falls (Hanakapi'ai Falls)
 Hanakapiai Falls (or Hanakapi'ai Falls) is a very tall waterfall nestled deep in the back of Hanakapi'ai Valley. The scene here really reminds me of the much-easier-to-access Waimoku Falls, but the work involved to get here makes this particular falls very memorable. The open rockfall-prone amphitheater is scenic enough to lure many people wishing to frolick at the plunge pool at the waterfall's base. If you do the hike to see this waterfall, you'll be undoubtedly passing by Hanakapi'ai Beach. Lots of people have died at this beach after entering the water so I wouldn't go in to its churning waves and strong rip currents if I were you. This is the only waterfall on the Na Pali Coast that you can access without a permit nor a paid tour. That's probably why I saw quite a few people hiking to and from this falls.
