Unique maui experiences in Hilo, Hawaii

Rainbow Falls is a stunning park and tourist attraction located in Hilo, Hawaii, United States. Visitors are advised to monitor local surf and weather reports before their visit. The park features viewpoints of geologic and scenic interest along the Wailuku River, with two separate park areas to explore. The Boiling Pots section of the park offers a series of large pools connected by underground flow or cascades, creating a unique bubbling effect. The exposed hexagonal columns lining the pools were formed by the slow cooling of basalt lava. The 80-foot Rainbow Falls is a highlight of the park, known for the rainbow that forms from its mist on many mornings. Legend has it that the cave beneath the waterfall was the home of Hina, mother of the demigod Maui.
