Review & FAQ:

Located along the northeastern Hilo Coast, Akaka Falls lies within Akaka Falls State Park and is one of two waterfalls in the park. The Akaka Falls plummets 442 feet into a stream-eroded gorge and is one of the island’s most famous waterfall. The magnificent falls can be viewed on a pleasant 0.4-mile uphill hike that winds through the surrounding tropical rainforest, which is full of bamboo groves, draping ferns, and wild orchids. The second waterfall in the park is the 100-foot Kahuna Falls, which can also be seen from the hiking trail.
