My dad and I hiked these trails many times in the 1940s 1950s. We were told the Indians pronounced it I Ill- e – lu- wan- née. The trail from Happy Isles all around the three falls is breathtaking. Anyway, I was 7 years old the first time we hiked these trails. Adults complain about […]

In 1978 we visited Canaima and stayed near the lagoon. On the way there,our airplane routed us past Angel Falls and we got a good look at the incredible sight. Soon after,we landed near the camp site. We ate our good meals outside under some trees. We spent a lot of time walking on trails […]

It is a wonderful explanation. I was searching for various videos and materials and none satisfies. Your way of explanation is awesome and easily understandable. It would really help me to pass on this information to my child. Thanks a ton 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of […]

Officially opened in October 2014 the new toilet block, easily found located beside the carpark, and the new picnic tables and shelter, are proving to be another drawcard for visitors coming to view these pretty falls in South Gippsland. The Agnes Falls drop 59 metres to the gorge below, and are only a pleasant 10 […]

I understand your explanation and diagrams. And understand how waterfalls are formed. But my question is why does waterfalls continue running. Pick at waterfall. I understand rain and snow makes water. But that couldn’t supply these waterfalls with continuing water. Does the rain and snow keep adding to the basin supply of water already there. […]

In 2006, I and my two children (daughter, then 15; son, then 17) had spent 7 weeks Down Under, 1.5 of which were mostly on South Island. I am currently completing my 5th book “La Familia Hayburg: Down Under” and constantly compare my notes from then to other accounts of the area. One thing I’ve […]

The Measuring of Falls can produce Inconsistent Numbers because of the Level of the Water in a Lake, Pond or Stream. The level of some Lakes can vary more than 200 Feet, so if the Falls flow into a Lake, the Falls may actually be considerably Taller in the Fall then in the Spring. If […]

First off, I would like to personally thank you for creating such a wonderful website full of beautiful scenery, luscious vegetation, and, of course, magnificent waterfalls. I would also like to thank you for sharing your personal experiences, as it really helps to grasp what you guys are visualizing and experiencing. Reading through your website, […]

As a previous resident of the area I visited the Falls many times. I found the most enjoyable time was during October when the sun was not too hot, the grass had not yet died off and the water was still running from the winter rains. We cooled our drinks in the brook which had […]

you are right. the end of the hike was anticlimatic. wish we had read this before went to this area. oh well good exercise. the view sucked as the trees blocked the view of at least the bottom two thirds of the falls in early september. might go back sometime but when the leaves are […]

I was going there with my friends in the early 70’s when I was in high school. My brothers in the 60’s. There was no trail, no trash, no other people and no writing on the rocks! You could park where ever you wanted on hwy 190. No cops. All there was, was respect for […]

Iguazu Falls made Niagara look like a cup of water. Niagara is great, but Iguazu was unbelievable. Great experiences and the boat ride into the falls was a thrill of a life time (even though, at one point, I thought I might drown – made the mistake of opening my mouth to breath in). And […]

Mutarazi Falls (sometimes spelled Mtarazi) in Zimbabwe – 762m has to be on the list. 0 CommentsOnly logged in users can post a comment (login at topright corner of your screen) Please login or sign up to comment

I mention this place to you because there are like 12 waterfalls all in this park. So if you go plan on an all day hike but there’s different sizes one you can even walk under its just an awesome place that amazing beautiful that has given us 12 different falls in an area you […]

I’ve made that hike four or five times, over the past 40 years, at various times of year. At times, there’s a rope to help you cross the stream, as the water will be up to your thighs or higher. Also, there are often nudists here. I recall a fairly awkward moment in a very […]

I have the good fortune to have lived in Hawaii for the past 22 years. I am a private and former military pilot. I have flown past Papalaua Falls on Molokai’s northeast coast dozens of times over the years in fact have spread the ashes of several dear friends in the area because of it […]

No offense meant to the photographer, these are great pictures, this was just much more spectacular to me than it looks here. Part of that is the non-crowded setting- I was all alone here for an hour, much better than Anna-Ruby or other “public” places. Minnehhaha is worth the trip for sure. FYI I read […]

This was one of my favorite places to visit on Kauai; I’d go every time I hit the island; however, the land to access the falls has been gated up and it is no longer accessible unless you climb a 7 foot high chain link fence. Tourists doing dumb things–there were several deaths and many […]

We visited Hawaii for a week. My family and I hiked to the waterfall and we were amazed! We were told that the falls didn’t really flow, but they did. Both Hiilawe and Hakalaoa Falls were flowing, with quite some water, but it didn’t rain in the past few days. In fact, we actually could […]
