Lanai Falls is a very tall and magnificent waterfall where cascades of water flows down over a huge exposed rockface over several tiers before forming a sizeable pool at its base. Its tall but sloped characteristics results in its beauty being hidden from view at ground level. The name of the waterfall is coined by unknown individuals that have placed a sign near a campsite situated nearby. This waterfall is not suitable for beginners and visitors are highly advised to engage a guide.
