The view from the lookout is gorgeous. However, the locals have put up signs that it is forbidden to hike down and there was a person guarding the entrance to the route. This was done despite the f… Diana D的完整评论

We drove from Kohala resort area they Waimea and to the valley lookout. The vegetation along the drive was so interesting. It was fun to see the little white birds hanging with the cattle. The view w… dimes008的完整评论

The view from the lookout down to the valley was amazing. I was not expecting to see a waterfall at the far end, which was a pleasant surprise. The lookout is easily accessible, albeit a bit steep.… 13paulettec的完整评论
My nephew wants to do the hike down and up, but I want to just drop him off and pick him up. Is there someplace to go or something to do nearby while I wait for him?#TAB##TAB#I

I’d suggest the nearby Honoka’a as a great place for you while your nephew hikes down into Waipio Valley. It’s a quaint, historic town with shops and lots to see. I’d recommend Grandma’s Kitchen for great food and atmosphere. Honoka’a is about 15 min or so from where your nephew would begin and end his hike.
I have read reviews and the distance/time to the actual beach varies greatly. For an individual in good shape, how long would it take to hike down the steep trail AND walk to the beach? How long for the return trip? Thanks in advance!
答:
According to my Fitbit, the time registered for my walk from the trail head to the beach was 40 mins. And the same duration coming back up.
Are there still wild horses wondering around the beach
答:
According to some quick research I did, apparently there are, but I did not go down to the valley. I just viewed it from the viewpoint at the end of the paved road.
Is there a hiking trail separate from the road you've mentioned? Did you notice a trail to the shore/beach once you've reached the bottom or just follow the road? My husband and I would like to hike this but I'd like to make sure we know where we are going before we embark on it.

There is no trail leading from the observation area to the beach below. You’ll have to use the one and only road alongside ATVs and possibly larger vehicles. Stay to the side and watch …
There is no trail leading from the observation area to the beach below. You’ll have to use the one and only road alongside ATVs and possibly larger vehicles. Stay to the side and watch where you put your feet. No one takes this road quickly, so don’t worry about excessive speed. There is always a chance someone could have brake problems or lose control of their car, so keep an eye on vehicles behind you as you descend. Relax, it’s a very slim chance. Most people’s better judgement kicks in when they see the condition of the road. Expect around 40 minutes to reach the bottom. Follow the road to your right. Once again, the only trail is the road. Turn right once more when you are presented with a choice and you’ll find a beach with finely ground black sand and the smell of cooking food. Watch the waves here. They’re pretty choppy. Have fun and expect one hell of a climb back up!
