Spanning the northeastern coast of Hawai’i Island, the rural Hamakua district is a testament to the power of tropical erosion, its tradewind-fed rivers sculpting large valleys into the flanks of Mauna Loa and Kohala volcanoes. Incredible walks and adventures await in every waterfall, forest, cliff, and beach speckling this dramatic coastline.
Explore the lush rainforest and valleys of the Hamakua coast! See countless waterfalls, pass through historic sugar towns, drive along breathtaking scenic routes, visit Hilo town and let your taste buds sample the local flavors. Longer tours may reach the dramatic large valleys of Waipi`o and Pololu at the northern tip of Hawai`i Island.
