About 2 miles up Kuamo'o Road (Route 580) from the Coco Palms Resort we arrived at our next stop which included the overlooks for Opaeka'a Falls on one side of the road and the Wailua River Valley on the other.
This is one of the most scenic stops on the tour and your first opportunity to use the facilities. The bathroom facilities here are were once a disgrace, but have been recently renovated by the State of Hawaii and are in very good shape.
A number of films and TV series have been filmed at these two locations. Those included The Hawaiians; Lt. Rob Crusoe, USN; Donovan's Reef; Pagan Love Song; Seven Women from Hell; and most well known of all, Outbreak. Outbreak used a restored Hawaiian village on the banks of the Wailua River to portray an African village in Zaire where a deadly airborne virus was found.
You can take a tour of Kamokila Village on your own at another time for just $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for children.
