Akaka Falls State Park preserves a short but spectacular loop trail on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island, leading through dense stands of bamboo, heliconia, and orchids to two waterfalls. The main attraction, Akaka Falls, plunges 135 meters in a single unbroken curtain into a mist-filled gorge below. The surrounding vegetation creates a green tunnel effect that frames the falls for photography, particularly in the soft diffuse light of overcast mornings.
