Waipio valley is one of Big Island’s most impressive places. You hike over streams, dazzling nature, green fields, huge trees, wild horses and the highest waterfall in Hawaii (1400 ft/426 m high). A breathtaking view rewards the hiker at the end of the trail, when looking down the valley and the Pacific Ocean.
Hikers should wear hiking boots, and bright colored clothing if it is hunting season in the valley. Take food and water with you, although there are a lot of streams on the way. For accommodation you can either stay in Hilo town or choose a hotel in Honokaa Town with a great view of Waipio Valley.
