Time permitting, you can take a quick dip amongst the most colorful sea life on the planet, while we guide less adventurers guests to nearby coves often teeming with sea turtles.

Akaka Falls State Park (Pass by)
Located on the lush, northeastern Hilo coast of Hawaii's Big Island, Akaka Falls stands as one of the state's most iconic and breathtaking natural wonders. The star attraction is the towering waterfall itself, which plunges a staggering 442 feet down a sheer, verdant cliff into a stream-eroded gorge below, making it more than twice the height of Niagara Falls.
