The beauty and seclusion of the falls make for a great attraction in their own right. The landmark is also known for being the site of filming for one of the most memorable sequences of the 1993 Jurassic Park film.
Film buffs and fans of the Jurassic Park franchise will certainly enjoy recreating the fly-in, but the wilds of Kauai are so frequently remote that any visitor to the island should plan at least one tour by air during their stay on the island.
Planning your trip
Enjoying the falls on a day trip from your cruise is absolutely achievable if planned in advance.
As above, a private or shared helicopter tour is just about the only way you're going to be able to experience the falls for yourself. Small plane sightseeing is also available, but it is obviously then impossible to make a landing.
When you should go
Kauai might have some of the most temperamental weather of the Hawaiian Islands, at least those which tourists can visit. The mountainous terrain sometimes precipitates less than desirable weather, meaning your visit to the falls can be affected.
What else you might need
The site of Manawaiopuna Falls is remote and pretty much only accessible by helicopter even if it weren't on private property. You'll need to arrange your experience in advance as limited seating and high demand can dictate availability.
