Explore Waipi'o Valley

02/02/17

Stayed right near the park and walked in down the access road. The river crossing was aided by a boat that took us across so we could hike the z up to the top. Steep narrow trail but such good views of all the falls and the beach! Hiked the trail past two falls and back. River crossing on the way back we went through the rocks but saw other people just walk through higher up using sticks to feel out the depth which looked like a better bet. Very worth it but don't drive down just walk!

Hike to Papakōlea Green Sand Beach

01/28/17

The reviews of this area totally undersold this hike. We opted to run the 3 miles each way and it was so worth it. Running was just as fast as taking a ride with the locals but allows you to check out the cliffs. Look out for sea turtles surfing the waves. Make sure you hike to the top of the cliff that overlooks the beach at the end. Keep going around the point to get to a coral beach that is more private.
