Waialae Falls (Wai'alae Falls) Waialae Falls (or Wai'alae Falls) is a another tall waterfall nestled deep in Waimea Canyon. Now even though we were able to see this waterfall from a chopper, it really depends on the helicopter pilot how much of the falls you'd get to see (if at all). The photos provided on this page show you what we were able to (so I guess it would provide you a taste of what's possible). And it was only through the helicopter tour that we were able to tell that Wai'alae Falls plunged in several distinct leaps. The view we got (just barely) from terra firma was from the Iliau Nature Loop Trailhead. We didn't go any further than a few paces from the nearby car park, but from this spot, we were able to see just a glimpse of the very top of the Waialae Falls.
