Review & FAQ:

Akaka Falls State Park , located on the Hilo Coast of the island of Hawai’i, offers visitors breathtaking views of Kahuna and ‘Akaka Waterfalls. The hiking path is just under a half-mile loop through the flourishing tropical flora. The trail is an easy-to-follow paved footpath with inclines and stairs in some locations. Guests will first encounter the cascading 100 ft Kahuna Falls before coming to the 442 ft high ‘Akaka Falls that free-falls down into the gorge below. The brief hike lasts roughly an hour from start to finish and takes visitors through a rainforest of wild orchids, groves of bamboo, and hanging ferns.
