Our steep descent into the "valley of the kings" was quite an adventure, considering the 25% gradient.

  • One of the coolest drives I ever drove.

  • Haha my papa was born nd raised wapio valley. Kanaka Bloodline Boii

  • @madziaro1 why didnt u put it in 4L?

  • this road drove me crazy, breaks were burning!!!

  • this is one of my favorite places on earth

  • I think i will let keonhe do the driving,i just wish he would learn how to handle a horse.

  • i will be there in about 3 weeks, this looks kinda scary but well worth it when you get there im sure!

  • I was there in 2003 and 2005. The drive down is not for the typical driver. I consider myself adventurous and I was a little nervous about not being able to stop going down. The ride up is a little easier, but try not to stop - if you stop, (yes, even with the 4WD engaged), it can be difficult to start moving again. 25% grade is more than what it seems. It is well worth the trip though - the valley is breathtaking. I plan to return there in October 2010 (assuming the road is still there).

  • You need to take HI-240. This is off of HI-19. HI-19 can be picked up in Kailua-Kona or Hilo depending on which side of the island you'll be on.  From HI-240 you can't miss Waipio Valley RD.

  • I will be visiting Big Island in a month and I would like to do some scenic driving. Can you please tell me where this road is located? Thx
