" 🌊 Quick & Easy Stop: The waterfall is just a short walk from the parking lot. 🌿 Lush Scenery: Surrounded by giant banyan trees and tropical vegetation. 🌞 Best Time to Visit: Arrive in the morning (before 10 AM) for the best chance to see a rainbow. 🌳 Nearby Jungle Trail: To the left of the waterfall, a lush vine-covered forest leads to hidden smaller waterfalls further upstream. 📍 Tip: If you have time, walk up the short trail to the top of the falls for a different perspective! 🚶‍♂️🌿"

"Waianuenue, Rainbow Falls, is a 80 foot tall waterfall that is part of the Wailuku River. Located just outside Hilo Town, the falls are a popular tourist attraction that gets its name from the commonly-seen rainbows appearing during sunny days in the mist just under the waterfall. The falls flows over a natural lava cave said to be the mythical home of Hina, a Hawaiian moon goddess."
The Points Plan
"Beautiful waterfall to see if you're in the area. The banyan tree in the park nearby is also worth a visit. Be warned! This tree is so tempting to climb, but the sap of the banyan tree can cause skin irritation and a rash. From first hand experience, it's itchy for a couple of days and then goes away with some hydrocortisone cream. "
