Manoa Falls

[1] Swimming in the pool below the waterfall is highly discouraged because there is a threat of becoming infected with Leptospirosis, a disease causing mild to moderate flulike symptoms that can last for 1 to 2 weeks.

Another attraction near Mānoa Falls is the Lyon Arboretum, which preserves many endangered Hawaiian plant species.

Mānoa Falls is located on the island of Oahu in Honolulu, Hawaii, in Manoa Valley, and comprise a 150 foot waterfall that empties into a small pool of water.

This is due both to occasional rockfalls and to the bacterial disease leptospirosis, which causes severe flu-like symptoms.

Kristi Takanishi died two days after the incident and the cause of death was determined to be from blunt force trauma to the head.
