Rainbow Falls
(Attractions & Activities - Great Views)
Rainbow Dr off W Waianuenue Ave, Hilo  96720
Distance: ~51.29 mi from The Fairmont Orchid, Hawaii
        Description: Just a short drive outside of downtown Hilo, the Wailuku River penetrates dense tropical undergrowth and cascades more than 80 feet into a picturesque gorge. The emerald green pool at the base of the falls used to be a popular swimming hole, especially with daredevils who wanted to explore the cave behind the falls; however, that's now against the law. Instead, visitors must make their way down the slick, stone walkway to the overlook, from which they have a terrific vantage point of this magnificent scene.
