Waterfalls of Kauai, Hawaii

Here are some waterfalls shot from a helicopter over Kauai. This first one has the nickname "Jurassic Park Falls", because it's the waterfall when the helicopter first approaches the mysterious island in the original movie.

One of the many amazing things about the waterfalls in Kauai is how the cascades flow one into another into another, like Namolokama Falls:

Mount Wai'ale'ale is the wettest spot on Earth. Basically, clouds always cover the mountain, and it always rains. It's also one of the coolest places on Earth you can visit from a helicopter. Cool in both ways. The temperature drops several degrees as you enter the crater as well.
