Akaka Falls is one of the few Big Island waterfalls you’ll need to pay an entrance fee to access, but the Falls and the accompanying hike are well worth the $5 fee per vehicle. Located north of Hilo as the end of Highway 220, the hike is extremely well maintained and rated as easy. The trail is a loop and only about half-a-mile long.
