Rainbow (Waiānuenue) Falls is a large waterfall, measuring 80 ft (24 m) tall and almost 100 ft (30 m) in diameter. It is free to enter and see the falls because this area is part of the Hawai'i State Parks. There is no fee to see the falls. Rainbow Falls gets its name from the rainbows that show around the falls, created by the mist from the falls and the sunshine at 10:00 a.m.

There is a warning sign at the entrance that indicates: "no lights, no walkways, sharp and loose rocks". Visitors should heed the warning and bring good shoes and a light.
