Overview

Hype:

Puu Hinahina Viewpoint provides one of the most dramatic ways to view Waimea Canyon. The canyon is ten miles long, a mile wide, and more than 3,500 feet deep. While smaller than the Grand Canyon in Arizona, it is truly a spectacular sight and one of the major natural attractions of the Garden Isle. From this lookout you can see all the way down to the Pacific Ocean from atop the Canyon walls. Additionally this location provides you the opportunity to get a clear view of the forbidden island of Ni'ihau offshore 17 miles away. Facilities are available at this location. The Puu Hinahina Lookout is at mile marker 13, just over three miles past the Waimea Canyon Lookout.
