Akaka Falls is a self guided scenic walk through lush vegetation and two beautiful waterfalls. Akaka Falls greets you with a 442ft drop and the cascading Kahuna fall can be seen behind overgrown vegetation after a heavy rainfall.
Located north of Hilo off Highway 11 between the 14 and 15 mile marker.
Go west on Highway 220 into Honomu town.
Follow Highway 220 until the road ends into the Akaka Falls parking lot.
Got to Hawaii State Parks for more information and fees.
My last visit: October 2013 - There is now a fee to park in the parking lot AND an additional fee to walk to the waterfall. Is it worth it? That's for you to determine.
I would still recommend the drive to Akaka Falls. Honomu town offers food and shopping. There are also two fruit stands on your way to Akaka Falls - make that stop and taste some of the fruits the island has to offer. The scenic drive through old sugar cane field is also beautiful.
