Discover the Hāmākua Heritage Corridor: A Journey Through Nature

Escape the typical tourist trails and immerse yourself in the serene beauty of the Hāmākua Heritage Corridor along which we are located.

This scenic drive from Koili Point to the Waipiʻo Valley Lookout offers lush landscapes, cascading waterfalls, and rich cultural experiences.

Highlights:

• Hilo Farmers Market : Start your journey with a visit to this vibrant market, offering fresh produce, local crafts, and a taste of island life.
• Honoka'a Chocolate Co : The tour is led by Mike, the chocolate maker and farmer, and includes a view of their cacao orchard with over 400 trees, white pineapple plants, turmeric, vanilla orchids...
• Hawaiʻi Tropical Botanical Garden : Only a mile from Koili Point, explore over 2,000 plant species in this lush sanctuary, complete with waterfalls and ocean views.
• Hakalau Forest National Wildlife Refuge : A haven for birdwatchers, this refuge is home to native Hawaiian bird species and diverse flora.
• Waipiʻo Valley Lookout : Conclude your journey with breathtaking views of this historic and culturally significant valley.

With that, let me leave you with a Hawaiian word of the day: 'Honoka'a' -- which translates to 'cavern or sea cave' in English!
