Rainbow Falls

Rainbow Drive, , Hilo, 96720, Hawaii

The scenery on this side of the island is the postcard-perfect example of Hawai’i – a lush rainforest that is home to the 80-foot-tall Rainbow Falls. The waterfall plunges over a natural lava cave and into the Wailuku River below. It is said that the Hawaiian goddess Hina, mother of the storied demigod Maui, dwells in the lava cave behind Rainbow Falls. On a sunny day, rainbows reflect off the mist of the falls, and it is perfectly magical.
