Native warriors used to jump off Opeaka’a Falls to prove their manliness.  Thank goodness for beer and football today.

The name Opaeka’a means rolling shrimp; the name dates back to days when the native shrimp were plentiful and could be seen in the base of the falls.  It is one of the few waterfalls that can be viewed from a road.
