The Rainbow waterfalls are very close to the car parking area. The foliage is beautiful and green and it certainly made the surroundings beautiful. It was a shame that I didn't get to see a rainbow… Full review by AprilForbes

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. From the parking lot, going to the right leads to "straight-on" views of the falls...but going to the left has a short and steep walk up to the top. 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.
