Waipiʻo Valley Lookout, Honokaa

Absolutely an amazing view! The look down from the cliff is wonderful and so gorgeous. It’s a great setting to get a picnic in! If you have leftover food, don’t be shy to feed them to the cats- make sure you throw it far, so that they won’t crowd around you asking for food!

On an island with so many amazing panoramic views, this one was my favourite. The beach, the cliffs, the rough seas all make it a must-visit spot on your Big Island vacation. Bear in mind that parking is very limited, so it might be best to avoid weekends (or times that are typically busier). As mentioned by others, the weather here changes rather quickly, so be sure to bring your rain gear. My wife and I were lucky to have 10 minutes where the view was clear, but then the clouds and rain moved in and visibility was limited. All in all, I highly recommend it!
