Rainbow Falls Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Rainbow Falls is located in the west of Hilo City on the Big Island. It is famous for the beautiful rainbow formed by the water mist of the waterfall refracted by sunlight. Rainbow Falls is about 24.4 meters high, and it is very different from the surrounding layers of verdant tropical plants. Rainbow Falls is one of the few waterfalls in the Hawaiian Islands with no dry season, and if you come here after a rain, standing on a nearby bridge can hear the deafening sound of the falls echoing through the dense jungle.
