Sorry, nope. Unless it's Opaekaa Falls, and I'm pretty sure that's not right.

Ok - here's another picture where the background may help. Slightly different vantage point, but from this location the falls is hidden behind a cliff. Oh - and you can't get to the place where I took these pictures anymore. At the reveal I'll provide more info.

Exactly! They did a digital mishmash and put the estate on top of Kualoa Regional Park. We've stopped by the park several times, but not since 2011.

We did the Kualoa Ranch ATV tour, visited all the shooting locations for Jumanji, Magnum, Lost, Jurrassic Park. The afternoon was a buffet lunch then Secret Island beach hangout. Highly recommended activities at the ranch when visiting Oahu.

Kudos to anyone who can identify this waterfall. Hints - it's on Kauai and it's not in Waimea Canyom.

Here's another pic from the same area looking down the valley. It's the Nualolo Valley on the Na Pali coast- the waterfall in the first pic is at the head of the valley.

Capture.JPG


The picture was taken from the old Nualolo Cliff Trail, that was perched along the edge of the wall of the Nualolo Valley. The Cliff trail connects the Nualolo and 'Awa'awapuhi Trails, making a loop that is a day trip. These pictures are from 2006, before they closed the old Cliff Trail due to dangerous conditions. There is new rerouted Cliff Trail. However the new trail apparently takes you through open fields higher up. The old Cliff Trail provided these spectacular vistas.

Here's a video of a couple of guys traversing the dangerous section of the Cliff Trail in 2013 - in the rain. I think they were idiots. In 2006, in dry weather, it was doable with reasonable care. By the time the 2013 video was taken the trail had clearly degraded from what it was in 2006. The really dicey part starts about the 2:00 mark. In the video you can also catch glimpses of the spectacular scenery on the trail

Easy one. That's DS3. DW was aghast.

If you know that rock with a hole in the middle of the photo this is easy. If not ...... wait for the reveal.

Should be easy, but no one has done this vista yet (or if someone did, I missed it) …

This was taken from our lanai at a very popular Kauai resort when the remnants of a hurricane arrived while we were there. Does this look familiar to any of our Kauai regulars?

Looks very similar to this picture, but with slightly different weather. Both were taken before the Great Wall of Poipu was constructed.

Anybody know the location of Seashell Restaurant? You won't find it on Google Maps. We had a nice dinner there in 1986 when it was in slightly better shape.

Wasn't that part of the Coco Palms?

Dave

Yes, it's across the street from Coco Palms, next to the Wailua Bay View condos. Like Coco Palms, it was badly damaged by hurricane Iniki in 1992. Last time I passed by, it was still there and had become a bird sanctuary.
