Waimea Canyon State Park - State park in Waimea - , USA

Beautiful canyon. We could not view certain parts due to fog. The waimea lookout was completely not visible the day we were out there but I hear it’s beautiful on a clear day. We were still happy with the parts we saw. A beautiful scenery and drive.

Breathtaking views. Parking lot is not very big, so just be patient. It’s very much worth it. We hiked down and enjoyed a view of the Na Pali coast.

Amazing hike! The views are incredible! You can swim but the water was too high when we went (it’s January) so no one was really swimming.

My family visited Waimea Canyon in early November in 2023. The place was spectacular, the deep jagged cliffs and drop offs with the dirt giving an orange hue. We also saw some birds flying freely across the region. When my family and I visited, we spotted a waterfall, keep in mind it is not really visible depending on what season it is. It is a must see for everyone. The route there also has plenty other lookouts giving you views of the canyon. There are also many trails throughout the area which allows you to venture deeper into the canyon. I highly recommend taking one of them. The entry fee is somewhat cheap, being free if you are a resident in Hawaii. There are many chickens throughout the parking lot. The staff there were also kind and helpful too. Keep in mind, there is not much shade at the lookout so it is best to put on sunscreen and beware that it is somewhat crowded at the lookout with parking spots being limited. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this place.

Amazing state park with canyons and lush foliage. There are many viewpoints to stop along the way to gaze at the canyon. There’s a nice country store , restaurant and Museum to stop and get refreshments and snacks along the way. Make sure you travel to the very end of the road to see the view of the ocean it cost $10 per car and five dollars per person which is well worth it.

The drive is a bit long, but the views are amazing! It is really cool seeing all the red soil as you drive up the mountain. Once you get to the top, there are multiple viewpoints that you can stop at. All of them have fantastic views!

Magnificent....give your self plenty of time to enjoy all the lookouts! Great sunset from the top.

Stunning, absolutely stunning and worth the drive up the mountain. Leave early, it might get cloudy later in the day. We arrived around 8 am; it was a bit early for pictures as the sun was not hitting the Canyon at the right angle to make the colors pop. It was the right time to do a hike though, before the scorching sun made it difficult. Weather can make or break your day trip up the Canyon. I got lucky with both morning and afternoon weather but I was fully prepared to come back the next day if I had to leave early. Yes, it is worth it.
