Akaka Falls State Park is a beautiful and must visit place in a lush rain forest setting. The trail to the falls is absolutely gorgeous, fairly easy, and a great little hike. It is a roughly 30 minute loop, all concrete with a hand rail the whole way, but has many steps and a lot of stairs. The surroundings, weather, and nature are immaculate and amazing. The wild and natural setting features many interesting plants and vegetation to view along the way. The waterfall itself is super cool to look at and worth the walking, though the bottom cannot be seen from the viewing area. There is an entry fee, and parking is available. Visitors are advised to bring a water bottle and patience, as it can be busy. The beautiful forest area makes it a neat walk, more exciting than other local attractions.
Biggest waterfall on Big Island Hawaii, 10$ for parking and 5$ entrance fee per person. Memorable experience.
