If you need an Instagram caption for your weekly #WaterfallWednesday post, look no further.

I look forward to seeing a cascade of waterfall photos on my feed every Wednesday, but it can be difficult to come up with a new caption about waterfalls every single week.

I put together this list of waterfall quotes and captions because you can only use “Don’t go chasing waterfalls” so many times. (Seriously, if I had a dollar for every time I saw those lyrics used as a caption… I probably wouldn’t need to work anymore!)

There are lots of other lists of waterfall quotes and Instagram captions on the internet, but most other lists include quotes that aren’t even about waterfalls or water. Worse, some promise lengthy lists of waterfall quotes but are stuffed with tons of duplicate quotes.

This list of waterfall quotes and captions is the ultimate list because it includes the best of the best quotes for your Instagram captions.

There’s a waterfall quote for every person or mood on this list. The list includes inspirational waterfall quotes, funny waterfall captions, waterfall lyrics, short waterfall quotes, and more.
