This outstanding and convenient little park features an easily navigable concrete path that loops along the lush cliffs above a river, first passing scenic Kahuna Falls (100ft), then reaching the truly grand ʻAkaka Falls , which plunge 442ft into a deep green basin. These are the best of the ‘tourist falls’ on this coast so don’t miss them. You’ll also enjoy a natural botanic garden that goes wildly into bloom during certain times of year (June to July is heliconia season).
To get here turn onto Hwy 220 between mile markers 13 and 14, and head 4 miles inland. You can avoid the parking fee if you park outside the lot, but you must still pay the walk-in fee. Cash or credit cards accepted.
