Waipi’o Valley, Hawaii

The Valley of Waipi'o is found in Hawaii's Hamakua district. Waipi'o is Hawaiian for "curved water." The valley, known as the 'Valley of Kings,' was once the sacred site of the Hawaiian kings. As the valley experiences a good rainy season, it is adorned with beautiful spells of rainfall.

The Waipi'o Valley is without a doubt one of the most beautiful valleys in the world with its dense, green forests, gushing waterfalls, and a shimmering black sand beach.

Even though it may be challenging to reach the Waipi'o Valley, the challenging descent into its interior is well worth the effort. Alternatively, you can take the Muliwai trail, which will lead you along the cliffs surrounding the Waipi'o Valley and give you a chance to see the lovely waterfalls that emerge from the Waipi'o River.
