Description

Waipiʻo Valley, known as the Hawaiian Valley, is a valley located along the gorgeous Hamakua Coastline of the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. "Waipiʻo" means "curved water" in the Hawaiian language.

The valley floor at sea level is almost 2,000 ft below the surrounding terrain. A steep road leads down into the valley from a lookout point located on the top of the southern wall of the valley. The shore line in the valley is a black sand beach, popular with surfers. A few taro farms of Hawaiian families are located in the valley. Several large waterfalls fall into the valley to feed the river which flows from the foot of the largest falls at the back of the valley out to the ocean.
