We had a wonderful, accommodating stay up in Waipio Valley. The lookout was a short little walk from the house. We enjoyed being away from the touristy crowds of Hilo and Kona while being able to experience more of the small town vibes of locals and residents. Everything we went to was at least a 45 minute drive but was completely worth it. Our group was able to hit up a bunch of beaches, waterfalls, Volcano national park and then some. There’s no A/C but even though we were experiencing a lot less rain (a “heat wave” = no rain) we still didn’t have a problem with just leaving the windows open and having the fans going. It was a great stay.
