Waipio Valley Lookout

  • Best timeMorning (7-10 AM)

A dramatic viewpoint over the sacred valley of the Hawaiian chiefs — 2,000-foot cliffs, a black sand beach, taro fields, and the distant waterfalls create a composition unlike anywhere else in Hawaii.

Tips for visiting

  • The overlook is accessible by car. Descending into the valley requires a 4WD vehicle or organized tour. Morning light falls into the valley best.
