After leaving my vulnerabilities behind at Rainbow Falls, our adventure to scope out the best waterfalls on the Big Island of Hawaii continued. Our next stop was Wailuku River Boiling Pots State Park.

Upstream of Rainbow Falls along the Wailuku River lies Peepee Falls and the Boiling Pots. Since the water flows down into various lava holes and tubes, the water tends to have the appearance of boiling. Since it was so rainy on the day of our visit, I presume the high water level maybe prevented viewing the typical “boiling” activity.

Contrasted to Rainbow Falls, there was no one at the Boiling Pots location. It was a wonderful moment to take in the scenery. Unfortunately, there also was not a lot to see at this location. Total time spent was maybe 15 minutes, most of which was allowing the boys to stretch their legs
