Waipio Valley


The ancient Hawaiians lived in the deep valleys along the coast to the east of the island. Many waterfalls are at the back of these valleys, falling down from the high hills. The Hawaiians had their villages and farms in the land in the valleys where there was water and good land for growing their crops like taro. They visited each other in their outrigger canoes. Sunday we overlooked one of these valleys, and could see far into the distance where other valleys come down to the sea.

Hawaiian villages were also in other parts of the island. One big village was right near the condo where we are staying. We have seen some of the old stone foundations of their houses and other buildings.
