Also known as Valley of the Kings, Waipi‘o ("curved water" in the Hawaiian language) Valley on Hawai'i Island could also be considered Earth’s Garden of Eden, with breathtaking vistas bounded by 2,000-foot cliffs, spectacular Hi‘ilawe Falls plummeting 1,200 feet from Kohala Mountain to the bottom of the valley, fruit trees, taro fields, streams, and a crescent black sand beach. The steep and narrow road down the valley is currently open to Hawai'i residents only, but the lookout offers breathtaking views without breaking a sweat. The lookout is perfect for taking pictures and having a picnic in the covered pavilion.
