The upland, verdant green countryside
surrounding the kickback town of Honokaa is a destination in itself,
for here one experiences rural old Hawaii at its finest. This friendly
locale offers unparalleled opportunities for hiking, cycling, and horseback
riding , with the surrounding bluffs providing awesome views of the
north coastline, and of the winding rivers and cascading waterfalls
within Waipio Valley itself.
Waipio Valley, the famous "Valley of the Kings",
is Hawaii's largest valley at one mile long and six miles wide. Historically,
Waipio was an agricultural region of remarkable abundance, home at one
time to thousands of Hawaiians and often the meeting place for chiefs
when important decisions were to be made. Now sparsely populated, primarily
by taro farmers, Waipio Valley is a rainforest of steep walls etched
by waterfalls and lush tropical foliage aburst in color, ending at an
impressive mile-long black sand beach.
