Creator's Key Takeaways

The waterfalls themselves are absolutely stunning, but the park, the greenery, and the rainforest atmosphere are something you really have to experience.

The view inside is fascinating, but be careful where you step. It is wet, slippery, and dark, so it is a good idea to turn on your flashlights.

We spent a quiet moment on the beach, saying goodbye to the big island and already dreaming about coming back.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Wear comfortable shoes when walking the Akaka Falls trail.
Use flashlights and walk slowly in lava tubes as they are wet and slippery.
