Drive up about 11 coastal miles north of hilo, take a left inward and a few turns after that and ascend up through the farmland (if you have the same rental car WE did your ascent will be slow. Apparently a Chrysler Sebring does not like to go "uphill".) We managed to not hit a dog running along side of us for a 1/4 mile. We would have stopped but it looked like a pitbull (could you imagine letting it into the convertible?! lol) Anyways, we loved this place. It was as easy as hiking gets... walking on a paved path.
The Gardens here were mammoth in size. Not so much expansive in acreage but each plant looked like something from a Chernobyl garden. Freakishly HUGE! The best part was seeing the amazing plant-life!
The falls themselves fall 422 feet!
After this we cruised back to Hilo Bay.
