On one of the Hawaiian islands, namely Maui, there are many interesting places for tourists and natural attractions. The most popular is Honokohau Falls. This is an amazing and picturesque place: the water here falls from a height of more than a hundred meters and falls into a neat depression to continue its run. Honokohau Falls became famous due to the filming of the film Jurassic Park, which took place in these places: the waterfall fell into one of the scenes of the movie and interested many viewers with its beauty. This place is surrounded by greenery, and everywhere here you can feel the spirit of free, wild nature.
