Sacred Falls (or Kaliuwa'a Falls or Kaliuwaa Falls) is hands down the most beautiful waterfall on O'ahu. The bottom of this 1100ft waterfall was once accessible along a trail leading to a swimming pool at the base of the falls where the last 80ft of the falls could be seen. Unfortunately, there was a landslide at the terminus of the trail that killed 8 and injured many other people on Mother's Day in 1999. Subsequent law suits forced the state to close access to this trail indefinitely. Thus, the only way to see the falls nowadays is to see it by air. But the problem is that I think helicopter tours on O'ahu are a waste of money, pollution, and fuel (especially if they don't focus on the Ko'olau Mountain Range and its waterfalls - which was the case when I flew with Paradise Helicopters). Thus, it's a tough call whether you think it's worth a couple hundred dollars to see this jewel of O'ahu.
