Big Island of Hawaii Waterfalls and How To Visit Them

The Big Island Waterfalls page is where we narrow our focus of Hawaiian Waterfalls to the Big Island of Hawaii. True to its name, this island is so big that it’s said to be able to fit all the rest of the Hawaiian Islands. Not only that, but this island is still expanding!

In any case, as you can see from the map above and the list below that we’ve visited quite a few of the Big Island’s waterfalls. And for each of the write-ups, we’ve provided extensive information about our personal experiences while sharing driving directions, photographs, videos, and even neighboring attractions to help with your trip planning.

Some of the waterfalls on this large-yet-rural island have even made it onto our Top 10 Hawaii Waterfalls List, which gives you an idea of the quality of the waterfalls here. We’ve also covered those requiring hikes as well as others that hardly require any effort.

In any case, given the sheer size of the Big Island of Hawaii, I’m sure there are more waterfalls to discover than our humble sampling. In the mean time, have a look and click on the links to read more about our experiences with them.
