We will be staying in Waikoloa for 6 nights, and then over to Hilo for 3 nights. We can%26#39;t miss Akaka Falls. Should we go from Waikoloa for the day, or from Hilo?
Akaka Falls...........
on your way to Hilo....
Akaka Falls...........
You%26#39;ll be passing by the turnoff for Akaka Falls while driving to Hilo. Stop off and have lunch nearby before you reach Hilo.
What is funny is that I don%26#39;t put Akaka Falls as a must see. It%26#39;s neat, but it isn%26#39;t all that.
What I do consider a must see on that side of the island is a hike down to the point in the middle of Onomea Bay. Now THAT is a must see!
You can find information about this short hike on the web, look up the Donkey Trail and Ononea Bay
Here%26#39;s a link to a description of the Donkey Trail hike:

FYI...
There are actually 2 waterfalls at Akaka. Walk to the other falls first, as it is less dramatic, and also it%26#39;ll be more of a downhill hike, than if you see Akaka first.
