The view from the lookout is gorgeous. However, the locals have put up signs that it is forbidden to hike down and there was a person guarding the entrance to the route. This was done despite the f…Full review by Diana D

The view from the lookout down to the valley was amazing. I was not expecting to see a waterfall at the far end, which was a pleasant surprise. The lookout is easily accessible, albeit a bit steep.…Full review by 13paulettec
My nephew wants to do the hike down and up, but I want to just drop him off and pick him up. Is there someplace to go or something to do nearby while I wait for him?#TAB##TAB#I

I’d suggest the nearby Honoka’a as a great place for you while your nephew hikes down into Waipio Valley. It’s a quaint, historic town with shops and lots to see. I’d recommend Grandma’s Kitchen for great food and atmosphere. Honoka’a is about 15 min or so from where your nephew would begin and end his hike.
I have read reviews and the distance/time to the actual beach varies greatly. For an individual in good shape, how long would it take to hike down the steep trail AND walk to the beach? How long for the return trip? Thanks in advance!

Distance to Waipio Valley is difficult to calculate without an accurate odometer reading, which I do not have. My review is just an estimate based on my own experience as a hiker. I took the trip in the back of a pickup. My best guess is that it will take about two hours to hike the distance to the beach, but that’s just an estimate. Most of that is after you reach the bottom. As an experienced hiker you know about how long the trip uphill will take compared to downhill. Allow all day for the trip.
Are there still wild horses wondering around the beach
A:
According to some quick research I did, apparently there are, but I did not go down to the valley. I just viewed it from the viewpoint at the end of the paved road.
