Some are situated right outside of an urban metropolis while others require hours of strenuous hiking. But no matter the location, viewing a waterfall in Hawaii is a magical experience. Here are the seven most beautiful places to see them.
Shield volcano Mount Waiʻaleʻale is often referred to as the wettest place on earth, with over 335 rainy days per year producing endless waterfalls and rainbows. The Wall of Tears is a collection of thin waterfalls that stream down the nearly 2,900-ft cliff face. The hundreds of waterfalls are best viewed from above on a helicopter tour, but can be also reached through a long and treacherous hike.
Viewable only by sea or air, Pāpalaua Falls is nestled in the far reaches of Pāpalaua Valley on Molokaʻi’s north shore and is one of the tallest waterfalls in the state. The impressive 1,250-ft waterfall reaches the valley floor in five tiers before joining a winding stream out to sea.
