Kulaniapia Falls

Watched over by a meditative Buddha, Hawaii's tallest private waterfall is only accessible by guests of the inn. It is one of the most serene places, especially without the public crowds that you might find at Hawaii's other natural landmarks. Sit with Buddha for self-guided healing meditation with the sound of rushing water keeping you company. If you're feeling more active, you can go water rappelling down the falls or explore the inn's 40 acres of land. (Submitted by Kristina Becvar)
