Hawaii, So Pacific Slide

(3 photos)
We visited the Hawaiian Island of Kauai for the first time in 1968. About ten years earlier they had filmed the movie “South Pacific” on this island, and the residents were very proud of that fact. We were told how to find the “real” natural water slide that was supposed to have been used in the movie. It was a long difficult hike, but well worth the effort.
We didn’t slide down the slide, but there were many others who did. It turns out this real slide was so isolated and it would be so difficult to get all the movie equipment to this location, that they built another slide, a few miles away, that was used to make the movie.

There may well be a thousand water falls on the Hawaiian Islands. We don’t remember the names of these two, or where they are located.
