If you are going to the Big Island of Hawaii, you might want to take a day or two and explore the wonder of some of its gorgeous waterfalls. They are situated all around the island with a somewhat higher concentration at the eastern part, around the city Hilo. Only a 10 minutes drive away from Hilo, plus about 10 minutes of hiking through the wild nature you find Akaka Falls. This stunning waterfall cascades down into a pool from a height of more then 400 feet and is one of the most visited waterfalls at Big Island. Along the trail you also find the smaller but still remarkable Kahuna waterfall and if you have time for only one waterfall hike, this is probably the one you want to go for. It not only gives you opportunity to see two of the most gorgeous waterfalls in the whole state of Hawaii, the hike will also provide you with the experience of the diverse nature at the Big Island. Waipi'o Valley is situated on the north side of the island and this beautiful valley offers a lot of waterfalls rushing down the hillsides along with a lush and flourishing nature. The valley can be reached by car and it's possible to get a pretty good view from it. It's well worth the effort though to get out of the car and do a bit of hiking. There are hundreds of waterfalls here, and one of the most loved one is called Hi'ilawe. You can easily spend a day or more in this sacred valley. Near Hilo is another spectacular waterfall, called Rainbow Falls. It drops about 80 feet into a huge pool of turquoise water. This waterfall is easy to get to, simply a short drive from Hilo and you can drive all the way upfront to it. To get the most stunning view of the falls, get there early in the morning and take a hiking trail for a few minutes and watch the sun rise over the lush rain forest surrounding this gorgeous waterfall. At the World Botanical Garden, a bit further north of Hilo, you find Uma Uma Falls. The garden is quite new and has conserved a lot of the wildness of this area. The waterfall is made up by three levels, pouring into three tranquil pools and being surrounded by lava stones and lush nature. A truly beautiful sight. These are some of the beautiful places where you can enjoy the wonder that a cascading waterfall is while at the Big Island.
