About Pololū Valley

Pololū Valley
 

Pololū Valley is the first of several large, prominent valleys on the northeastern coast of Hawaii Island. The valley is accessible via the scenic Akoni Pule Highway, culminating at a lookout that provides breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, rugged sea cliffs, and the lush valley below. Historically, Pololū Valley was once a thriving community and agricultural area for native Hawaiians. Today, its untouched beauty draws visitors seeking tranquility and natural beauty. The valley is part of the Kohala volcanic area and is rich in native flora and fauna, making it an excellent spot for wildlife enthusiasts. Hiking is the main attraction, with a steep trail leading down from the lookout to the valley floor and a black sand beach. The valley is also of cultural importance, containing historical sites and native Hawaiian significance, adding an element of historical interest to its natural charm.
