SW BZ-179 ‘Akaka Falls, Hawaiʻi Island

ʻAkaka Falls State Park is a state park on Hawaiʻi Island, in the US state of Hawaii. In this park which is located along the northeastern Hamakua Coast, there are two gorgeous waterfalls which can be seen on one short hike - Kahūnā Falls and ʻAkaka Falls. This State Park is a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves and draping ferns.

‘Akaka Falls which is perhaps Hawaii Island's most famous waterfall, plummets 442-feet (135 metres) into a stream-eroded gorge. The stream is called Kolekole stream. 'Akaka means "a rent, split, separation, or crack" in the Hawaiian language.
