Akaka Falls State Park

Akaka Falls State Parki is a state park 11 miles north from Hilo Hawaii’s Big Island and is home to the magnificent 442-foot tall 'Akaka Falls and the slightly smaller but no less magical, 300-foot tall Kahuna Falls.

The four-mile 'Akaka Falls Loop Trail winds through a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves and draping ferns and past these waterfalls, offering an excellent hike with several viewpoints along the way.

The Kahuna Falls has a spectacular 400-foot drop which can be seen from a small overlook point about 800 foot beyond the ‘Akaka falls overlook. Both falls are best seen after a rainfall when the cascades are most impressive.
