Very pretty little stop - you won’t need long here but definitely worth checking out out if you’re in the area, as very easily accessed from the main road. Full review by Ourarka

It was maybe a 5-10 minute drive from downtown Hilo. Not hard to navigate to and I arrived early, so I didn’t have to deal with finding a parking spot or loads of people. Was it nice to see? Sure.… Full review by Neens E

Not worth the effort, unless you are there very early the parking hassle and crowd due to the proximity to Hilo isn't worth your time. Small, not impressive falls. Full review by cosmo2012015

Actually, the pic is indeed Rainbow Falls in Hilo. It is taken from the top of the falls...you can see the water going over on the left of the tree...and the nice rainbow on the right.

When deciding which of my pictures to include in my reviews, I try to add a little variety by not using the same pics as everyone else. Thanks for checking my review.

Yes, we did both in the same day plus went to Coconut Island and Richardson’s beach. If you are coming into Hilo from the north you will do Akaka Falls first. From there it is a few miles to get into Hilo where you will find Rainbow Falls. Hope you have a great time.
