The best time to visit this waterfall is between March and July, and a train can even be taken to view this beauty!

Being an outdoors person myself, I always prefer exploring the wonders of nature rather than exploring cities. And these waterfalls are something that I would love to visit someday. The infographic is extremely helpful giving out all essential information, in a visually appealing manner.
Awesome guide to the attractive Largest Waterfalls! I love everywhere with water around. I’m thinking to make a Hiking trip to Waterfall. Kjelfossen is absolutely beautiful in all aspects. I love this waterfall which is one of my destination in the near future.
wow, this is just wonderful, I have to see all of these!
Great info here. The guide is so useful. Never heard of these waterfalls before. Good to know.
Waterfalls are amazing. One of my favorite childhood memories in the Philippines was dipping in the water beneath the waterfalls. I also enjoyed seeing Niagara Falls in 1999.
What beautiful pictures! I definitely have to add this to my bucket list of places to see.
my goodness, these waterfalls look truly amazing, for me, waterfalls look so relaxing! I need to see these one-day that’s for sure.
I absolutely love waterfalls. They are beautiful to listen to and watch from a short distance. I would like to see Pu’uka’oku Falls up close.
There’s something so beautiful about waterfalls. They’re my favorite. Love the pictures. Thank you.
Wow, these are incredible! The Pu’uka’oku Falls are unreal. It would be amazing to be able to see some of these in person.
What a sight. I would love to see some of these. Yosemite is pretty close to us so we could see that one.
This is a great list of some beautiful places.
Those waterfalls are really amazing although I am afraid of heights, but I would really love to go on a tour to a least one of these places.
Wow, what amazing places! I really love the layout of the Gocta Cataracts, it is so beautiful!
Wow! I love the waterfalls I would love to go to these places someday! Awesome photos!
I would love to fly over Pu’uka’oku Falls so that I can see those falls so well. I just love how beautifully sculptured Hawaii is!
Beautiful waterfalls that you have brought to us. I wonder how exciting it would be to see it in person.
I encourage you to see a few on these list!! Really worth it
these are all so beautiful.. watching them really is so peaceful..
thanks for this list.. the ones in Yosemite are beautiful
I’d known that Norway was a hot spot for waterfalls but had never heard of Gocta Cataracts before! I’m actually headed to Peru next month but unfortunately won’t have time to make it to northern Peru to see the waterfalls. Even after seeing tons of waterfalls in Iceland, northern Europe, and all over the world, they never get old for me!
We love waterfalls! Our favorite is actually in Kona, big island, and we could watch the video of it 50 times over in one sitting. So relaxing!
I’d love to check out some waterfalls in Kona!
I admire your passion for outdoor adventure and sharing as the glimpse of these beauties. Those gorgeous falls are truly wonders! You are so blessed to experience and hope many travellers are responsible like you are.
WOW, these are absolutely breathtaking! I have been fortunate enough to visit a few of these. However, I haven’t even heard about a few of them. After this article, they are all on my list tho 🙂
Very interesting post. I didn’t know anything about the Gocta Cataracts, which looks like a very impressive waterfallI. I was surprised you didn’t mention Victoria Falls, in Zambia, which is one of the most spectacular and awe-inspiring waterfalls in the world.
What beautiful waterfalls! I have never even heard of Gocta Cataracts but I think in your list that’s the most stunning. I haven’t even been to Niagara Falls or Victoria Falls. They are all so stunning to me. What I would also love to see one day is a frozen waterfall…how amazing would that be?
Niagara Falls are probably the largest waterfalls I’ve visited. I lived in Venezuela as a child but my parents never took me to Angel Falls. We have many beautiful falls in our state of North Carolina but nowhere near this big. What a great idea for a day out!
I remember checking out the Pu’uka’oku falls when I was in Molokai a few years ago. I had no idea that it was the 3rd tallest waterfall in the world! That’s so cool, because we were there to hike down the tallest sea cliffs in the world. It was a day of “tallest” things!
Amazing! Now you know what a tall waterfall looks like 😀
You are so brave to go out and take these adventures! There’s nothing like adding a little bit of danger and a whole lot of nature to the girls day out agenda! I’ll keep these ideas in mind!
Happy to hear you will keep these ideas in mind for a Girl’s Day Out! Definitely won’t disappoint
This is a great list for waterfall lovers. We have visited Niagara and also Iguazu but did not realise that there was plenty more to see around the world. Looks like we have a lot more travelling to do. My bucket list is growing bigger every day. There is something peaceful about being around waterfalls, although they are noisy, I just find them relaxing.
I agree! The water falling is so very relaxing, we should all be chasing waterfalls
WOW these are absolutely breathtaking!
I hope you take the chance to visit one of tallest waterfalls one day!
