Waipi’o Valley

Waipi’o Valley

Located along the stunning Hamakua Coast on the northeast shore of the Big Island. Waipio Valley is a mile wide at the coastline and almost 6 miles deep.

Waipi’o  means “curved water” in the Hawaiian language. The meandering  Waipi’o river flows through the valley and enters the ocean at the beach.

Both sides of the valley are hugged with 1,500 to 2,000 foot cliffs dotted with cascading waterfalls
