While 'Akaka Falls, which plummets 442 feet into a gorge below, is stunning on its own, the landscape around the falls is what sets it apart from so many others in the world. Surrounded by lush, untouched rainforest, the stark sliver of water drops in a near-perfect stream into the cavernous gorge below.
