A relaxing spot to walk around. Definitely need to climb to the top of the falls on the staircase to the left. Then go into the woods to see a couple of massive banyan trees... This is a must see.

This trip to Rainbow Falls is a quick one from Hilo and the falls are easy to rind. Beautiful scenery, and wonderful for budding or professional photographers. Later in the afternoon, it is not as hot and just standing there, viewing these magnificant falls provides the end to a wonderful day in Hilo. Loved it.

Very nice view from any angle. Beside the waterfalls I enjoyed the Banyan trees at the park. Unfortunately, it was cloudy when I. Visited the falls so I couldn’t see the rainbow.

Very nice view of the falls. We enjoyed this waterfall the most and the others you had to pay for parking and access and got no where near the falls. I enjoyed my time here great trail and view. Safe area. No issues at all would definitely come back.

There isn't enough parking for the crowds, but we kept going around until we finally got a spot. The waterfall is in Hilo and really lovely.

The best of the falls I got to see on my trip. You can get a great picture here, it's free to visit. If you only have time to see one fall in the Hilo area, make it this one.
