Waimea Canyon

In Waimea, turn inland onto Waimea Canyon Road, but before you get too far, stop at Gina’s Anykine Grinds Cafe, see 4 [map]. The window might say “sushi and pies”, but inside heavenly cinnamon rolls also await. Waimea Canyon Road lumbers upward, eventually yielding to stunning views of the canyon. There are several lookouts where you can watch mists, rainbows, shadows and colors shift in this 3,500ft (1,060-meter) deep, 10-mile (16km) -long chasm. Pass Koke’e State Park 5 [map] (don’t worry − you’ll come back!) and head to spectacular views from Kalalau Lookout 6 [map] along the 4,000ft (1,200-meter) rim of Kalalau Valley. If the view is hidden by clouds, wait a few minutes for them to clear; the view is best in the morning. The swooping valley drops down to a beautiful beach, the terminus of an 11-mile (17km) trail originating at the other end of the Na Pali Coast, near Hanalei (for more information, click here).
