Rainbow Falls, Hi’ilawe Falls, and Waimoku Falls

submitted by Mandy BUlar on February 21, 2019

The World of Waterfalls has been to this waterfall, which you can read about here.

A standout amongst the most effectively open cascades on the Big Island, Rainbow Falls is only a brisk five-minute drive from downtown Hilo. On bright days, rainbows show up in the fog of the 80-foot falls, making for some entirely otherworldly perspectives.

Rainbow Falls is a standout amongst Hawaiʻi’s most notorious cascades. The falls is totally visible from the expansive post adjoining the parking area. There is additionally a way up and to one side of the post that will give you a perspective on the waterway.

Barely any individuals get the opportunity to remain underneath the waters of Hiʻilawe, falling somewhere in the range of 1,450 feet from the precipice above. The adventure here involves a precarious plummet into Waipiʻo Valley by foot or four wheel drive and a climb upstream, or rather a climb up through the stream over stones and coursing water.

This is the place the aliʻi wāhine, or chiefesses of old, would make their day by day trek to shower underneath the hallowed falls in the mountain pool.

The adventure to Waimoku Falls is similarly as wonderful as the reward of setting eyes on the cascade itself. The way, Pipiwai Trail, will lead you through a grand bamboo backwoods with all around looked after walkways, past the 185 foot Makahiku Falls .
