A Visit to Wiamea Canyon on Kaua’i, Hawai’i

A Visit to Wiamea Canyon on Kaua’i, Hawai’i

 

One of the many highlights of our trip to Kaua’i was a visit to the Wiamea Canyon, nicknamed the Grand Canyon of the Pacific.

 

And rightly so.

 

Wiamea Canyon on Kauai Hawaii

 

Wiamea Canyon is about 3500 feet deep, so not quite as impressive as the Grand Canyon, nor is it as wide or long. But Wiamea Canyon views are absolutely spectacular with amazing colors and distant waterfalls, especially in the sunlight. And depending on where you are you can see the ocean about 10 miles away as well. The drive up the mountains is pretty nice, but actually better on the way down where you can see the valleys, the ocean and other islands.

 

Wiamea Canyon is a must-do. But the photos tell the story better than I can.
