About

The Hamakua Coast is wild, fertile and beautiful, here where thunderous waterfalls shoot mist and rainbows across mossy chasms, and where green sugarcane grows wild on bluffs between deep-blue sky and the more bluer sea.

When people say the Big Island is the most Hawai'ian island, they're probably talking about the stretch of the eastern coast. Here, in the green valleys time is suspended, farmers still grow taro and pound it into poi. Here the melodious notes of an ukulele drifts toward dusk, inviting the night marchers to come forth from their burial sites to march out to past battles or to other sacred places. This journey leads to the Waipi'o Valley and to the Hawai'i Tropical Botanical Garden
