North Kohala
With sunny skies and warm wind, the North Kohala district is worth exploring with scenic coastline vistas and an eclectic mixture of galleries, boutiques, and eateries in Hawi town. Known as the birthplace of King Kamehameha I, Kapaau commemorates the leader who united the islands of Hawaiʻi with an impressive statue. The northern journey ends as you wind through quaint neighborhoods and tropical rain forest foliage to the Poolu Valley overlook - a view with steep Kohala cliffs, a black sand beach and the blue Pacific Ocean.
