A Hawaiian Waterfall on Each Island - Hawaii Discount
If there is one thing that most visitors are dying to see during a visit to the islands, it's a tropical waterfall that is tucked deep into the rainforest. Sure, the beach is incredible and a Hawaiian rainbow is a sight to see, but discovering a waterfall is an all around amazing experience. Most waterfalls are accessible via a hike that winds deep into the trees, and some waterfalls are found on a helicopter tour that takes visitors to inaccessible places. No matter how you discover a Hawaiian waterfall, it's a sight that you will have to see.
Due to the large amount of rain and the natural terrain that makes up the interior of the island, waterfalls flow freely, and there is a waterfall to find on every island. Waterfalls are at their peak during the winter months, due to the rainfall that occurs, feeding streams that feed the waterfalls, creating a spectacle. If you are hiking to a waterfall, be sure to proceed with caution, as trails can be slippery and a bit treacherous at times. And always follow water advisories when it comes to entering the pools beneath the waterfalls.
Some waterfalls are extremely tall, dropping hundreds of feet, while some are quite short, cascading over a series of rocks into a freshwater pool below. There is no waterfall that is better than any other as they are all natural formations that create their own beauty and there are so many to see that you can easily see a different waterfall each and every time you visit a Hawaiian Island.
On every island there is a waterfall to see, even if you only have time to see one during your visit. Some can be easily reached on foot, while others require taking to the skies. No matter how you choose to see a waterfall, you will love the sites that you encounter.
