ABOUT THE FALLSHawaii Waterfalls are one of many reasons why Hawaii is widely regarded as the "Pearl of the Pacific." Given its lush tropical climate, Hawaii has rainforests supporting a wide variety of them. In fact, one spot in Hawaii (the Mt Wai'ale'ale Crater on Kauai) is the wettest place on earth with some 450 inches of rain a year!
Couple the Hawaii Waterfalls with all the sun and fun that the state is so famous for and it's no wonder why it's the most popular vacation destination in the United States. Hawaii features a luscious blend of cultures, personalities, and natural features. Whether you're out there... - hanging ten and catching waves
- getting a tan on a famous or secluded beach
- cooling off in a swimming hole
- shopping for souvenirs and keepsakes
- snorkeling or diving
- hiking through its tropical rainforests and volcanic landscapes
- checking out a luau
- eating shaved ice for relief from the tropical heat
- hanging out with friends and family,
- or trying to learn the Hawaiian pidgeon and get into the aloha spirit...
...there's something for everyone here. But the Hawaii Waterfalls give me the excuse to experience this piece of paradise time and again...Hawaii's diversity also extends to its collection of islands. Each island has its own character and collection of waterfalls. Maui - dubbed the magic island - has heaps of waterfalls along the famed Hana Highway.

While Oahu features plenty of things to keep a visitor busy, it too has something for the waterfall lover.
