Waipio Valley Road Driving Down Big Island, Hawaii
Thank you very much for seeing it every time.
Also, if you see this for the first time, please subscribe.
Through this channel, I hope to be able to tell everyone the charm of Hawaii.
Waipio Valley Road is a short steep road in the Big Island of Hawai.
The average grade is 25% and the peak grade reaches 40-45%.
Note: This video does not support influx into Waipio Valley. Also, although it is regulated, it can not be passed only by the performance of the car. You have to know that tight corner braking will occur if 4WD vehicles make sharp cornering on low speed paved roads.
???? Tight Corner Braking Phenomenon
-------------------------------------------------
Driving a vehicle with the centre differential locked, and making a tight turn, can make the car feel as if it is blocked, this is due to the difference in speed required between the front and rear wheels to make the sharp turn.
-------------------------------------------------
Tip 1;You must always have a place to pass each other's vehicle.
Tip 2;You need to have correct feel of the width of your vehicle.
Tip 3;When passing each other, keep in mind to move straight forward.
If you do not have confidence in these, please give up the passage. When passing oncoming traffic in a narrow road, if you bother the surroundings or are confused about driving, never Don't go down the hill.

An afterword：
I have a license to drive Japanese mid-sized cars. A mid-sized car is a four-wheeled vehicle with a total vehicle weight of 5,000 kg to less than 11,000 kg, a maximum loading capacity of 3,000 kg to less than 6,500 kg, and a passenger capacity of 11 to 29 people.
It is a car used to transport people and luggage, not a car used in daily life. And there are not many Japanese who have this license.
I have more than 310,000 miles (500,000 km) of driving experience, and in SUV experience, there are bad roads such as snowy roads, ice, deep sandy roads, and mud.
Hiking One of the Steepest Roads in the World - Waipio Valley Road in Hawaii
We hiked Waipio Valley Road located on the Big Island, Hawaii. It's one of the steepest roads in the world! More pics:
Holy sh!t, that road is steep!!! Bring a lot of water, since there's no way that pathetic rental is going to make it down and back up again. Don't let the pavement fool you -- this Big Island hike is short but strenuous.
Seriously, at one point the road into Waipi'o Valley ascends 800 feet in just over half a mile, topping out at a grade of roughly 40%. That's crazy steep, and enough to wear out your calves going down. Don't get me started on the trip back up -- as you can see in the video, the hill pretty much kicked my ass.
Waipi'o Valley is majestic and beautiful, and its worth making the trip just to check out the overlook. The valley is about a mile wide and six miles deep, and filled with lush green vegetation, waterfalls and taro fields. The site also has an interesting history, having been home to many old Hawaiian kings and at one point it was wiped out by a tsunami. Today, there are only a few dozen residents -- most of the land is private property, so be respectful and stick to the path leading to the beach.
If you do hike down the insanely steep road, make a sharp right at the bottom onto a (muddy) dirt lane and follow it out towards the ocean. After a half a mile or so, you'll come upon the rocky shore and one of the Big Island's famous black sand beaches. Head to the left to find a small river running out into the ocean -- a great place to hang out and have a picnic lunch. You can also head right along the rocky shore, and if it's been rainy you'll find a nice waterfall running down a cliff into the sea.

*We incorrectly listed the location of Punalu’u Black Sand Beach as Nīnole. Thank you to Tylah808 for bringing that to our attention. The correct location is Pahala.
**Thanks to viewer Robert Whitaker for the following corrections regarding locations. Waipi'o Valley lookout is in Waip'io, not Honoka'a (we used it as the nearest town as a point of geographic reference). Kiholo State Park is not in Kamuela, but in greater Kailua-Kona area. Punalu’u Black Sand Beach is not in Ninole, but Pahala*
***Apologies for the misspelling of Kamekameha.
????We recommend downloading The GyPSy Audio Guide if you end up driving around the island (
????Due to the volcanic eruptions on May 2018, check for Hawaii Volcanoes National Park attractions statuses and closures
(
????It was helpful to know the status of Parks & Beaches in Hawaii we intended to visit so check out the Hawaii Division of State Parks website.
(
⚠️For Waip’io Valley and Mauna Kea Summit road trips make sure to check your rental car agreements. If you do drive down to the Valley or up to the Summit cars with 4X4 are encouraged.

Da ich von Mitte Januar bis Mitte Februar den Winter wieder auf Hawaii verbringe (einen Teil in Oahu einen Teil auf Big Island), bin ich gerade ein wenig in Stimmung. Ich habe dieses Video ausgegraben von einer Show auf dem Farmers Market in der schönen kleinen Stadt Honokaa. Die Menschen dort habe ich so sehr ins Herz geschlossen - ich freue mich so sehr, dieses Jahr mit meiner Frau wieder zurückzukehren.

Driving to Black Sand Beach in Waipio Valley
This is a drive down into Waipio Valley, 4WD access only. It can be very slippery in the rain, but fortunately it was a dry day! The sand is almost considered a black sand beach, it is mixed in with white sand. The black sand beach at Punalu'u on the southern side of the island is actually considered black sand. It is darker than this sand, but not by much! Enjoy the video :) I enjoyed the drive.
