Video: Swimming at Sacred/Secret Falls

There’s something almost magical about swimming at the base of a Hawaiian waterfall. I love hearing the sound of the water cascading down the rocks, while floating in the refreshingly chilled pool. It’s a marvelous experience.

On our most recent trip to Kauai, we kayaked up the Wailua River and then hiked to Sacred (Secret) Falls for a swim and lunch. While we were there, Andy captured this video of the waterfall as he was swimming at the base. Hopefully, it will give you a glimpse into the experience of swimming at a Hawaiian waterfall.
