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

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.

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.
