Manoa Falls

  • Best timeMidday (10 AM – 2 PM for light into falls)

A 150-foot waterfall in Honolulu's lush Manoa rainforest, surrounded by tropical vegetation including ginger, ti, and bamboo. The mist creates rainbow conditions when sun angle is right.

Tips for visiting

  • A polarizing filter cuts glare and saturates the green vegetation. Shoot vertically — the falls are narrow and tall. Tripod helpful for long exposures.
