Rainbow Waterfall
Air Terjun Pelangi
A waterfall deep in the hills of Sungai Lembing, where sunlight often forms a complete rainbow arc in the spray; you need a four-wheel drive and a hike to reach it.
Rainbow Waterfall cascades down from a high rock face. On sunny mornings, when sunlight slants onto the mist at the foot of the falls, a full rainbow often appears, hence the name. Typically you take a local four-wheel-drive vehicle from Sungai Lembing for about 1 hour, then hike for about 1 to 2 hours through rainforest and streams. The round trip takes half a day and usually starts early in the morning, and it can be combined with the sunrise at Bukit Panorama. Bookings are made through the four-wheel-drive tour operators in town. Road conditions depend on the weather, and roads are slippery after rain. Remember to guard against leeches.
