Waiulili Falls Waiulili Falls is the second of the ocean-bound waterfalls accessible via the sacred Waipi'o Valley (the other being Kaluahine Falls). Well, the payoff was that I got to see (twice) a pretty ocean-bound waterfall with fairly healthy flow. Apparently, this falls was given longer life as it was not only helped by a spring, but additional water diversion might have made the Waiulili Stream the beneficiary of outflow and/or agricultural waste. Now I only went as far as my first glimpse of the falls though theoretically I could've continued scrambling further for a closer look. It was just that I was too nervous to proceed further given the unpredictability of the ocean. While the falls didn't look all that tall from the ground, we were fortunate to see the falls from a helicopter, and that was when we realized just how tall this waterfall really was. I don't have the figures for this one, but for sure it seemed to span the entire height of the cliff!
