AboutMalia Expertise Aloha,
I can answer I would say about 99 % of all questions relating to Hawai`i.
Experience I work for tour agencies as a tour guide so have a wonderful island experience especially from the view of travelers and newcomers to the islands. I am also a high school language teacher.
Maybe you know this, or who may know. A lot of kayak tours on the Wailua river take their customers to the so called "secret falls". Is there a name for this falls in Hawaiian? I'm thinking there has to be unless the falls didn't exist precontact.
Answer Aloha Paul,
I believe you mean the "Sacred Falls" near Hau'ula. They have been closed to the public for many years because there was a horrific accident there a few years ago but plans are to open them again.
We call them sacred falls as well, sacred means = 'ihi and falls as in waterfalls = wailele
however they are known by their English name
Hope this helps
Malia
