About
Kahuna Falls is a waterfall on the Big Island of Hawaii, located in Honomu, a small community on the island's windward side. Its address is Akaka Falls Rd, Honomu, HI 96728, and it sits within Akaka Falls State Park.
What to expect
The fall drops about 400 feet, and it can be seen from the park's loop trail. Visitors who come to the park for its better-known neighbour, Akaka Falls, often find that Kahuna Falls is less visited, which can make the walk feel quieter. Its height and setting make it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in waterfalls.
