Queens Bath Waterfalls

The Queens Bath Waterfalls are a pair of waterfalls you can see when the high tides of the North Shore have turned the serene tide pool into a churning cauldron of turbulent whitewater. It's basically the consolation prize for the very popular attraction in Princeville when you're here in the winter (as opposed to the summer when it's more of a swimming hole protected by lava rocks sheltering it from the open ocean).

The lower waterfall technically spills some 15ft or so directly into the ocean in high tide. The upper waterfall tumbles in a cascade before a short drop into a calm pool (there were plenty of mosquitos there though - at least when we were there) for a total height of probably 15-30ft depending on where you start counting its height. You can see both falls easily along the established trail to the Queen's Bath.
