Thanks to Lisa Weber for this info. She lists several places where you can swim under a waterfall on Kauai: Princeville
Hike and Kayak Adventures
Wailua Kayak
Adventures
In order to hike the entire 11 miles (one way) of the Kalalau trail you need to be in pretty darn good shape. Not to mention the fact that you will need a permit to camp overnight at the end before heading back a day or two later. If you'd like to experience a portion of this well known trail, then try the first two miles. That will take you from your starting point at Ke’e Beach (the end of the road) to the summer sand beach at Hanakapi’ai. Swimming or wading can be dangerous, however, and is not recommended. The surf and rip currents are variable and often extremely treacherous, especially in winter when high surf conditions prevail. If you're looking for a little more challenge than the 4 miles round trip to Hanakapi’ai and back, take the 2-mile trail (one way) that winds into Hanakapi'ai Valley. After crossing the stream about a mile up the valley, the trail, which is not maintained, becomes more difficult as it meanders over rocks and fallen trees. The upper half of this trail should be hiked only in good weather to avoid dangerous flash floods and falling rocks. The reward at the end of the trail is a beautiful tall waterfall that cascades into a large pond that you can swim in. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy. For more information
on the trail, see this website:

Magical Mai Tai Recipe Many of you that have stayed with us have commented on how much you enjoyed the tropical juices that await you in your frig when you arrive. What you probably didn't know is that this juice mix is the base for some killer mai tais that we've concocted for quite a few years. They're served to the guests who pass by Gale's Kauai Vacation Helpers concierge desk on check in day at the Banyan Harbor Resort. For any of you that want to make a very good tropical drink, here's our never before published recipe for Mai Tais. If you are making Mai Tais for a party:
 Kids say whatever they're thinking. And when the topic is love, well the results can be pretty funny. 
CONCERNING WHY LOVE HAPPENS BETWEEN TWO PARTICULAR PEOPLE "No one is sure why it happens, but
I heard it has something to do with how you smell ...That's why perfume
and deodorant are so popular.
"I think you're supposed to get shot
with an arrow or something, but the rest of it isn't supposed to be so
painful."
ON WHAT FALLING IN LOVE IS LIKE "Like an avalanche where you have
to run for your life."
"If falling in love is anything like
learning how to spell, I don't want to do it. It takes too long."
ON THE ROLE OF BEAUTY AND HANDSOMENESS IN LOVE "It isn't always just how you look.
Look at me. I'm handsome like anything and I haven't got anybody
to marry me yet."
"Beauty is skin deep. But how
rich you are can last a long time."
REFLECTIONS ON THE NATURE OF LOVE "Love is the most important thing
in the world, but baseball is pretty good too."
HOW DO PEOPLE IN LOVE TYPICALLY BEHAVE? "When a person gets kissed for the
first time, they fall down and they don't get up for at least an hour."
CONCERNING WHY LOVERS OFTEN HOLD HANDS "They want to make sure their rings
don't fall off because they paid good money for them."
"They are just practicing for when
they might have to walk down the aisle someday and do the holy matchimony
thing."
CONFIDENTIAL OPINIONS ABOUT LOVE "I'm in favor of love as long as
it doesn't happen when 'Dinosaurs' is on television."
"Love is foolish ... but I still
might try it sometime."
"Yesterday I kissed a girl in a private
place ... We were behind a tree."
"Love will find you, even if you
are trying to hide from it. I've been trying to hide from it since
I was five, but the girls keep finding me."
"I'm not rushing into being in love.
I'm finding fourth grade hard enough."
THE PERSONAL QUALITIES YOU NEED TO HAVE IN ORDER TO BE A GOOD LOVER "Sensitivity don't hurt."
"One of you should know how to write
a check. Because, even if you have tons of love, there is still going
to be a lot of bills."
SOME SUREFIRE WAYS TO MAKE A PERSON FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU "Tell them that you own a whole bunch
of candy stores."
"Shake your hips and hope for the
best."
"Don't do things like have smelly,
green sneakers. You might get attention, but attention ain't the
same thing as love."
"One way is to take the girl out
to eat. Make sure it's something she likes to eat. French fries
usually works for me."
