Mānāwaiopuna Falls is a 122-metre, 400-foot waterfall in Hanapēpē Valley on Kauaʻi, Hawaii, set in a remote part of the valley and reachable only by helicopter. Widely known informally as Jurassic Falls, it gained international recognition after appearing in the background of several scenes in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Jurassic Park. Despite that fame, the falls have remained secluded rather than becoming a typical tourist stop. Landings near the waterfall were prohibited until 2009, when Island Helicopters was allowed to make a limited number of landings each week.
