Waikoloa, Big Island, Hawaii

5/5 (684 Reviews)

One of the Big Island’s most enchanting and untamed natural landmarks has to be the Kohala Coast. Hundreds of years of volcanic activity, erosion by the ocean waves, and vegetation growth have created a dramatic landscape full of surprises. Towering sea cliffs and waterfalls open up to allow glimpses of the rainforest and the remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements. This area has seen very little modern intervention which will allow you to take a step back in time and imagine life as an early explorer of the Hawaiian islands.

The Kohala Coast

The Kohala Coast offers a breathtaking and untamed escape to one of nature's most impressive handiworks. The result of centuries of volcanic activity, ocean erosion, and the unstoppable advance of vegetation, this coast presents an incredibly dramatic landscape. The scenery is punctuated by towering sea cliffs and cascading waterfalls, intermittently revealing glimpses of the dense rainforest and traces of ancient Hawaiian settlements. Its remarkable preservation from modern interventions means that visiting the Kohala Coast is like stepping back in time, allowing you to experience the raw beauty of the Hawaiian islands as early explorers might have seen them.

Waipi'o Valley

Waipi'o Valley, also known as the 'Valley of the Kings,' is one of the most notable features along the Kohala Coast. This fertile and mystical valley was once a thriving hub for royalty and commoners, rich in Hawaiian lore and natural beauty. As one of the few places in Hawai'i that has remained relatively untouched by modern developments, Waipi’o Valley offers a peek into Hawai'i's past with its verdant taro fields, untamed landscapes, and a stunning black-sand beach. The valley is also home to Hi'ilawe Waterfall, one of the tallest and most impressive waterfalls in all of Hawai'i, making this valley a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Kohala Coast.

The Hāmākua Coast

Just to the south of the Kohala Coast, the Hāmākua Coast stretches majestically, offering a different yet equally stunning facet of Hawai'i's diverse natural beauty. This region is characterized by its lush tropical rainforests, expansive views of the Pacific Ocean, and deep, rugged valleys cut by swift, cascading streams. One of its most iconic features is the Waipi'o Valley Lookout, where visitors are treated to panoramic vistas of the verdant valley floor, steep cliffs, and the infinite Pacific beyond. This region, untouched by major modern development, provides a genuine experience of the wild, untamed charm that is quintessential Hawai'i.
