Waipi'o Valley - Day 4

Today we went north east. Probably the farthest east we'll make it on the big island. We drove through the towns of quaint little towns of Waimea and Honoka'a to a lush green valley called Waipi'o Valley. There was a cold fresh river flowing down it and some rough surf and a black sand beach on the coast. The drive down into the valley was quite fun. It was 45 degrees and 4wd only. Most people walked, but we paid for the Jeep for a reason.






After we spent some time in the valley, we headed back to the west coast and hit another epic beach called Mauna Kea. Almost as cool as Hapuna, but a lot less people. Then we hit Bubba Gump for dinner on a recommendation from some friends, Jasen and Abby, who actually worked there for a few months right after college.
