Where is Akaka Falls State Park?

Type of attraction: the Park hosts two waterfalls: the Akaka Falls (135 m) and Kahuna Falls (30 m)
Location: At the end of Akaka Falls Road (Highway 220), 5.8 km southwest of Homomu

Akaka Falls State Park is located on the Northeast Hilo Coast and features two beautiful waterfalls. The 0.6 km long and only slightly ascending hiking trail leads you through a lush rainforest with wild orchids, bamboo groves and hanging ferns.

If you continue along the paved footpath, you will first come across the 30 m high Kahuna Falls. Behind the next bend of the loop, you can already see the towering Akaka Falls, which plunge over 135 m into a gorge. The beautiful waterfall is probably the most famous of its kind on Hawaii Island. The pleasant hike takes less than an hour.
