Kipu Falls, Waterfall in East Kauai, United States.

Kīpū Falls is a waterfall in East Kauaʻi, Hawaii, on land owned by Grove Farms Company. It lies on the Huleia Stream near Lihue, where the water drops into a pool below. The falls are not open to the public and the access route has been blocked.

The waterfall became well-known after appearing in a scene from the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, which significantly increased visitor interest. This movie appearance transformed the natural site into a popular destination for film enthusiasts.

Kīpū Falls appeared as the opening scene of the 1981 film Raiders of the Lost Ark, and that exposure drew visitors to the site. Guide books later publicized the falls, and injuries became more frequent once those books spread word of the location. The land is privately owned by Grove Farms Company, so visitors were trespassing rather than using a public site.

The falls are not open to the public: the land is owned by Grove Farms Company, which blocked the access route after five drownings in five years, so visitors who reach the site are trespassing. Guidebooks that publicized the falls are linked to a rise in injuries there.

Grove Farms Company restricted public access after five drowning deaths occurred at the site over a five-year period. This closure remains noticeable today, as the area is closely monitored and access stays limited.
