Sylvia Falls

First of all, thank you very much for this great site! Part of the Wentworth Falls – at the very end of the round track. I would say this waterfall is about 15m tall 2 Comments*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 8 + 8 =

Cumberland Falls

I have only seen a couple of great falls, of course the other great falls I have seen was Niagara. I have also seen many beautiful small falls; Clifty Creek in Indiana was very pretty. 2 Comments*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 4 + 9 =

Haloku Sea Cliffs and Waterfalls, Moloka’i, Hawai’i

Haloku are often called the World’s tallest sea cliffs. They rise 3,250 feet, a full kilometer. I ran 78 commercial trips down Koolau Moloka’i in the 1980’s but since it was summer (the only time safe to kayak) we never saw Haloku pumping. On my Hurricane John honeymoon trip in August 1995 we did see […]

Hjalparfoss is great – don’t miss it

I visited Hjalparfoss with a British group in 2008. We had been to many of the famous large falls and Gullfoss is still top of the list for sheer overpowering grandeur. BUT Hjalparfoss is so beautiful and peaceful. We just sat on the grassy slope, ate our sandwiches and soaked it up. It’s wonderful, And […]

What causes a waterfall to change shape or form on the way down?

At a Holiday Inn in Tucson they have a waterfall in the lobby that pours over a flat ledge, about ten or twelve feet wide) and the water falls in a flat smooth sheet. Half way to the bottom, it suddenly starts fluttering back and forth (towards the front of the falls, and also to […]

Units – use and translation

I value the nature a lot and I appreciate the page like yours. I saw few of the waterfalls from your list – they are beautiful without the doubt. My only concern is about the units you are using. Since the readers have various understanding of units – both, in US and rest of the […]

Iguazu Falls – Fee to Cross from Argentina to Brazil

It should be noted that there is a $100 fee to cross from Argentina to Brazil. If you hire a taxi and guide in Puerto Iguacu he might be able to get you over without this payment. Both sides are different and are worth seeing. 0 Comments*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields […]

Papalaua Falls

I am extremely familiar with Papalaua Falls. I used to run kayak trips down Koolau, Moloka’i and will again someday. I also made two documentaries including the falls. “Moloka’i’s Forgotten Frontier” won a 1985 Emmy Award and the US Outdoor Writers Council “Teddy” for Best Environmental Education production of the year. “Moloka’i’i, Child of the […]

Shikishima Waterfall (Shikishima-no-taki)

You saw MUCH more water here than I did. Hagoromo is easily the Japanese waterfall I was most curious about prior to my visit to Japan. For what it’s worth, I also found the trail to Shikishima-no-taki closed, but Yusemi, the wonderful man who showed us around merely shrugged and motioned us to come along. […]

Dagg’s is my brother in law!!!

How nice to be in a very green and clean countryside… I love the falls… Dagg, Brown and Queen Mary’s Falls. I have been there 3x and I took so many pictures. You can revitalise your spirit and to be in touch with nature… it can take your stress away. I just couldn’t imagine that […]

Memorable visit to Queensland (Killarney)

I’ve been in Queensland last December 2008-March 2009. I visited my sisters in Killarney and my brother in law is a Dagg… I was fascinated to see all the pictures specially the fall in Killarney… these are the places I’ve been visited and took a lot of photos and memorable memories with my family. The […]

Hiking to the falls

Breathtaking. Indescribable. If you can handle an 8 mile hike over mud, rocks, and steep terrain, this is a must-do while in Kauai. The pool below feels really cold, but jump in. It is incredibly invigorating. This was the best thing I did in my two weeks in both Kauai and Oahu. I loved it. […]

Correction on Tokopah Falls

The article about Tokopah Falls is incorrect. Tokopah is not on the Middle Fork of the Kaweah River as stated in the article. Instead, Tokopah Falls is on the Marble Fork of the Kaweah River. The article needs to be corrected. 1 Comment*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 8 + 6 […]

Wonderful World

Excellent writing regarding waterfalls and relationship. I enjoyed the many times that we were together searching for waterfalls and natural bridges. The song “What a Wonderful World” says it all. 0 Comments*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 7 + 8 =

Terraced Falls Hike

So I was looking around and found your site (really like it). Recently I went on a trip to Yellowstone with a friend and our main goal was to check out waterfalls. We saw many pull-over falls, Union Falls and Terraced Falls. The hike to Terraced Falls was pretty intense. We got about 1/2 way […]

My mystery waterfall! (Australia)

I was traveling in Australia 15 years ago and visited a beautiful waterfall where I took a swim in the ice cold billabong but I can’t remember where. Does anyone recognise this waterfall?

Abundance of waterfalls in Tennessee

Tennessee is filled with beautiful waterfalls. None are as large as Niagara Falls, though Fall Creek Falls is one of the largest east of the Mississippi. What makes Tennessee’s waterfalls so beautiful is the surrounding scenery. The Great Smoky Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau are some of the most lush regions in the United States. […]
