Waimea Canyon - user review
We drove the 17-mile road up and through the canyon itself, and then into Kokee State Park. There are many, many dozens of lookout points to stop at along the way, and try to stop at them all--not just the official very touristy ones. Take Waimea Canyon Drive, NOT Kokee Road, as the latter is filled...

Waimea Canyon - user review
It was breathtaking and worth the long drive from the north side of the island to get there. I had never seen a canyon before this, so I was amazed as to what we saw. We did this after a long day of rafting on the Captain Zodiac. Being that it was only 30 minutes from where we were, we said we were ...

Waimea Canyon - user review
The Waimea Canyon, which is also called the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is an awe-inspiring gorge on Kauai's West shore. There are two roads leading to Waimea and they intersect higher atop the mountain. They steer you toward Route 552(Koke'e Road), but I took Route 550 (Waimea Canyon Drive), which...

Waimea Canyon State Park - Introduction - expert review
If you have yet to make it to the Grand Canyon, Kauai's Waimea Canyon takes a close second. Some have in fact nicknamed this 3,600 foot deep slit in the island's volcanic soil the 'Grand Canyon of the Pacific'. Certainly here, as with the better known canyon in Arizona, soaring cliffs, sunlight and ...

Waimea Canyon - user review
The Waimea Canyon is called the Grand Canyon of Hawaii. A beautiful deep river gorge that lasts approximately 10 miles. There is a winding twisty road that will take you to the top of the canyon. Be sure to take something if you are prone to motion sickness. I would also recommned taking your own pi...

Great hiking, lack of signage frustrating - user review

This natural formation is so amazing that I can't even accurately describe it. I have been to the Grand Canyon many times and loved it, but this is so much more amazing. The rock formations and colors are fabulous, and the lushness of the surrounding areas make it that much more amazing. The canyon ...

Waimea Canyon - user review
You cannot go to Kauai without seeing what Mark Twain is accredited with saying is the Pacific?™s Grand Canyon. While not as impressive as the Grand Canyon, it is impressive in its' own right. I cannot remember the roads in Arizona, but these roads were narrow and steep, and I am very very glad that...

Waimea Canyon, Kauai
Waimea Canyon is the largest canyon in the Pacific and truly a dramatic sight to behold. The canyon measures 10 miles long, 1 mile wide, and more than 3,500-feet deep. It was carved thousands of years ago by rivers and floods that flowed from Mount Waialeale's summit. The lines in the canyon walls d...

Waimea Canyon - Waimea - Reviews of Waimea Canyon - TripAdvisor
Waimea Canyon is amazing to put it simply. I wouldn't recommend the drive from Kekaha (Kokee Rd. Highway 552) as it seems really long, is very winding and not nearly as scenic as the Waimea Canyon Drive (Highway 550) from Waimea. The first overlook is wonderful. We were there midday and the lighting...

Waimea Canyon and Koke'e State Park, Kauai
If you are hiking, you can leave cool weather gear behind. It can get very warm, especially down in the canyon. Be sure to bring your hiking boots. Much of Hawaii can be muddy and Waimea Canyon is no different. Jeans are also recommended to protect your legs, but bring old ones that can be thrown aw...

7 Wonders of Hawaii: Waimea Canyon | starbulletin.com | Features | /2008/04/05/
Take Route 550 in Waimea or Route 552 in Kekaha. Route 550 is more scenic, but most residents bringing friends to the canyon for the first time opt for Route 552. It is a much more spectacular sight to get to the lookout without peeking beforehand. Kokee Lodge in Kokee State Park has a restaurant, c...
