WATERFALLS NEAR HILO. . 



In the Hilo district are several very fine waterfalls 

 which will repay the tourist for the toil of a visit. The 

 " Rainbow Tall," in the Wailuku stream, is the most 

 accessible, being within a short distance of the village, 

 and can be visited on foot, at any time of the day. 

 During the rainy season, when the stream is swollen, it 

 furnishes a pretty sight, overhung as it often is, with the 

 beautiful bow which gives to it its name. The height of 

 the fall is only about ninety feet. 



Near the Kaupakuea Plantation, ten miles from 

 Hilo, is one of the finest waterfalls on Hawaii. It is in 

 the Kolikoli river and gulch, three miles back of the 

 sugar mill, and is known as the " Akaka Falls." To 

 reach it, the tourist will have to go on horseback and 

 with a guide, part of the road being through a dense 

 thicket. AiTiving at the falls, he will be amply paid for 

 the trouble taken. The stream is about as wide as the 

 Wailuku at Hilo, and the height of the fall 560 feet, the 

 stream falling unbroken into a deep basin below. The 

 scenery around this waterfall is wild and romantic in 

 the extreme, and when the river is swollen, it affords a 

 sight of rare beauty.

 the slope of Mauna Loa, one by Puna, the other by Olaa. 

 It will be advisable to combine both, by going one way 

 $nd. returning the other. Time being an object, the
