Waterfalls of the Big Island of Hawai'i
 In addition to its size, the island is one of the most unique places in the world. For it is here that you can experience one of the most varied climates all within driving distance of each other. For example, you could be in a lush, humid tropical rainforest and then in snow just miles away towards the summit of either of the island's twin tower volcanoes. Much of the island resembles otherworldly moonscapes due to recent lava flows. Yet even within such varied climates, you can still find waterfalls on the island's windward side. In fact, this island is home to two of the most scenic yet easily-accessible waterfalls on all the Hawaiian Islands in Rainbow Falls and Akaka Falls. There are other towering waterfalls nestled in the mysterious valleys of the Kohala Coast. There are also pretty ones in botannical gardens such as Umauma Falls and Onomea Falls. From the charm of the old school Hawai'i in Hilo to the resorts and sun in Kona to the Paniolo influence present in Waimea to the domain of Madame Pele in Volcano, a visit to the Big Island of Hawai'i is sure to produce some unforgettable memories.
