Waipio Valley Lookout

The overlook over Waipio Valley is one of Hawaii's Big Island's most beautiful locations. The rich valley, which is bordered by beautiful rock walls, stretches out to the coast, where a black-sand beach is met by white waves and azure sea.

The river that flows through the valley, Waipi'o (or Waipio), is named after it. Wai-pio, which means curled water in Hawaiian, is the name of the valley, which is roughly one mile broad and six miles deep. The valley divides into several "fingers" at the rear, each with its own waterfall. A lovely black sand beach that is divided in half by the river lies where the valley ends and the ocean begins to the north.

Many of the routes in Waipio Valley are appropriate for novices, and hiking there is regarded as some of the best in the state. Horseback riding trips by local guides let you see the valley from a new angle and make for an extra-special experience. An stunning view of the shoreline with striking color contrasts. It is a stopover location with free parking and a brief valley view with restrooms. Even with the fog and mist, the scene is breathtaking. Stay a while, and the fog will lift. You may unwind, read about Hawaiian history, and enjoy the scenery.
