Manawaiopuna Falls (colloquially known as Jurassic Falls) is a waterfall in the Hawaiian Islands, located in Hanapepe Valley on Kauai Island. It is 122 metres (400 ft) tall.[1] It featured in the background of several scenes in the 1993 Steven Spielberg film Jurassic Park.[2] The waterfall is only accessible by helicopter.[1] Landing near the falls was forbidden until 2009, after which Island Helicopters was allowed to land a limited number of times per week.[3][4]
