Today I get to show you one of the beautiful falls on my favorite island of Kauai.

Wailua Falls is a 83-foot waterfall located in Kauai, Hawaii that feeds into the Wailua River. There is a path to the bottom of the falls, but it is muddy, slippery and dangerous. Some hikers have strung ropes along the path, but officials come by every so often and cut them. In ancient times, Hawaiian men would jump from the top of the falls to prove their manhood. There is another waterfall nearby named ‘Opaeka’a Falls.

The Wailua Falls were featured on the opening credits of the television show Fantasy Island, which is why some refer to them as the “Fantasy Island Falls.”

Join us as we show you a view from atop Mariners Ridge via an easy hiking trail located just above Hawaii Kai right here on Oahu.

The entrance, which is located in a local housing area, is easily found after heading just past the Hawaii Kai Post Office where you’ll see the street sign for Kaluanui Road & Hawaii Kai Drive. Turn up the hill and continue to the end of the street, but be aware that there is no trailhead markers to alert you. Also official parking does not exist, but street parking is available at limited locations. Remember that you will be entering from a residential area, so be courteous and quiet and show some aloha since you are a guest in the area.

The trail is a nice easily navigable ridge trail that takes you to the crest of the Koolau summit with a nice, dry pine forest about halfway into the trail and great windward views from the top. This is the fastest and easiest way to the Koolau crest and a great choice for a family day-hike. It is advised that you bring water and an emergency cell phone in case something goes wrong or you happen to loose your way. Also try not to start too late in the evening where nightfall may set in on your return trip and if it looks like rain is on the way, try to get down as soon as possible or cancel your trip altogether to avoid any flash flood issues that may arise.

Ever heard of Makapu’u on the island of Oahu? Chances are, if you’ve been to Oahu or live on Oahu, then you have. But now let me ask you if you’ve ever heard of the Makapu’u tide pools or maybe you have and maybe you even seen it from the top of Makapu’u but never got the chance to take the trip down the mountain side to visit.

Well today that all changes, because WE take you there! Still it’s not exactly the same as experiencing it yourself, but let us give you a brief tour and then you can decide whether or not to take the plunge and dive into this adventure for yourself.

A few little tips we want to share if you do decide to accept this adventure.

Come along today and meet Joshua Alo.

“In early 1999, Joshua enlisted in the U.S. Air Force and served as a mail transportation manager where his job is strictly to ensure the deployed U.S and coalition troops receive mail, no matter where they are, to and from their loved ones back home. This unique occupation provided him a broad global experience and cultural understanding throughout the years having lived in Japan, Belgium, Italy, Kingdom of Bahrain, traveling to 26 countries and to include multiple deployments to Iraq.“

He has performed countless times throughout Europe and even for the troops in the battlefields of Iraq. His recent return to the islands introduced his music to live local audiences both on Oahu and Maui and further introduced his delightful soothing sounds to Hawaii.

Now the goal is worldwide and we at 808Talk are happy to introduce Joshua to our viewers around the world. Remember if you enjoy Joshua’s sounds please support local music from the islands and purchase his album on iTunes or CDBaby.
