Waihilau Falls

Waihilau Falls is a horsetail waterfall in Waimanu Valley on the island of Hawaii. Dropping 2,600 feet on the Big Island, the state’s largest and youngest island, it ranks as the third-tallest waterfall in Hawaii and the thirteenth-highest in the world. The falls are noted for their delicate appearance, with three slender threads of water descending a steep green cliff through dense tropical vegetation. Their exceptional height and narrow flow create a striking ribbon-like form within the dramatic landscape of the valley.
