Description
Only accessible by trip up the the Wailua River, the Fern Grotto is a lava cave that is completely covered by natural ferns. A nearby waterfall creates cooling mists. The spot's idyllic beauty will captivate you, just as it long captivated Hawaiian royalty, who were once the only people allowed to visit this sacred spot. A number of different companies offer boat trips to see the grotto, including several that offer guided kayak expeditions. By speedboat, the trip takes about 40 minutes; by kayak it is a day-long adventure.
