Rainbow Falls Lookout - Hilo. HI - Scenic Roadside Look-Outs on Waymarking.com

Rainbow Falls is a gorgeous waterfall to visit early in the morning. Its name originated from the fact that on some early mornings a rainbow can be seen arching across the falls. "Waianuenue" Falls is its Hawaiian name which means "rainbow seen in water."

Like all waterfalls, Rainbow Falls' display is dependent on recent rainfall. It can vacillate between a single thin stream of water and a raging cascade. When the flow is just right, the falls resemble an 80 foot white shower falling over a rock shelf into a placid blue-green pool. From the lookout the surrounding vegetation is a dense jungle.
