Rainbow Falls attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Rainbow Falls is located west of Hilo on the Big Island and is famous for the beautiful rainbows formed by the refraction of sunlight through its mist. Rainbow Falls is approx. 24.4m high and looks truly unique, nestled among layers of lush, vibrant tropical plants.
Rainbow Falls is one of the few waterfalls on the Island of Hawai'i that flows year-round. If you visit after the rain, you can stand on the nearby bridge and hear the deafening roar of the waterfall echoing through the dense jungle.
