Akaka Falls, Big Island, Hawaii

    See this photograph on Getty Images

    Akaka Falls - a 442 feet drop deep inside the Hawaiian rain forest. Could not be a more dramatic setting for a waterfall. 'Akaka' in Hawaiian means 'split', as in a split in earth.

    Full story of my Akaka Falls State Park trip, and more photographs, are here.
