3 Fun Places You Can Visit Near Waipio, HI
1. Patsy T. Mink Central Oahu Regional Park
With 269 acres of recreational fun, this public park is a favorite of Honolulu County communities. If you’re looking to test your athletic prowess, serve away at one of 20 tennis courts, or take a few laps at the Olympic-sized swimming pool. For more aquatic adventure, launch from the diving springboards.
Or take aim at the archery range. Have a field day at one of 12 baseball or softball fields, where you can participate in an event or root for your team (including the Hawaii Pacific University baseball team) from the stands. Plentiful multi-purpose fields further expand the athletic offerings. Be prepared to draw fans’ attention away from the action if you drive up in the Genesis Electrified G80. This all-wheel-drive, aerodynamic eye-catcher sizzles on the road with 365 horsepower and wows with next-level style and amenities.
2. Waipio Valley Lookout
Travel along Hamakua Heritage Corridor Drive, and you’ll discover the most awe-inspiring way to soak in the beauty of the Big Island in all its glory. This overlook gifts you a photo album full of snapshots of the splendid Waipio Valley sprawled out below. Marvel at soaring sea cliffs and the black sand beaches connecting with the sparkling water while you enjoy a picnic and read about the fascinating history of this region.
Road closures have limited access to the valley itself, but you can still interact with this wondrous area up close with the amazing tours available via four-wheel drives, shuttles, and even horseback or a mule-drawn wagon. During your tour, you might behold Hawaii’s tallest waterfall, ride alongside stunning wild horses, and fish, surf, or swim at the fascinatingly alluring black sand beach.
3. Polynesian Cultural Center
Billed as Oahu’s top attraction, this 42-acre paradise is much more than a mere center. Eight immaculately detailed tropical villages make this region Polynesia’s top living history museum. Come primetime, the rich song and dance legacy of Polynesia pops to energetic and vibrant life with a 100-performer strong event featuring musical odysseys from hula to Taualuga.
Festivals and other special events give visitors an even more all-encompassing taste of Polynesian culture and its storied roots. On any given day, you might see fire-knifers compete for top dazzle honors, feast at a traditional Polynesian luau, or set off on a guided canoe ride. Connect with this unique culture at 55-370 Kamehameha Highway.
The ride should match the mood: relaxed and rad. Drop by Genesis of Waipio and browse an inventory of autos as marvelous and memorable as the Big Island itself.
