Rainbow Falls (Hawaii)

Rainbow (Waiānuenue) Falls is a waterfall located in Hilo, Hawaii.

At Rainbow (Waiānuenue) Falls, the Wailuku River rushes into a large pool below.

The gorge is blanketed by lush, dense nonnative tropical rainforest and the turquoise-colored pool is bordered by beautiful, although nonnative, wild ginger.

Known in the Hawaiian language as Waiānuenue (literally "rainbow water"),[1] the falls flows over a natural lava cave, the mythological home to Hina, an ancient Hawaiian goddess.
