Waipi‘o Valley

Waipio Valley

Waipi‘o Valley, known to the Hawaiians as “Valley of the Kings,” most famously features Hi‘ilawe Falls, a sheer waterfall of more than 1,000-feet—heralded as the Big Island’s tallest—that plunges into a surreal deep blue swimming pond enshrouded by fragrant ginger and eucalyptus forests. More than 50 generations of Hawaiians have inhabited this iconic valley which was once the political and religious center of Hawai‘i.

With rugged sea cliffs dropping more than 2,000 feet to meet luminous black sands that stretch a mile across and fertile taro farms reaching back to meet the jungle playground nestled within the valley walls, Waipi‘o Valley never fails to ignite the imagination and render visitors in awe of the incredible life-force emanating from this Hawaiian treasure.

All this—and more—is just a few minutes from downtown Honoka‘a. It’s no wonder we call this place Paradise.
