We signed on for a fantastic horseback ride tour of the valley with Waipio Naalapa Trail Rides. Waipi'o Na'alapa meets at the local art gallery and gift shop named Waipio Valley Artworks at 48-5416 Kukuihale Road. A 4-wheel drive vehicle transports riders safely down to the stable area in the valley. |

As the van shakes, rattles and rolls its way downward, visitors begin to see ancient taro fields and the magnificent scenery unfold before them. It's fascinating to learn that the now peaceful valley floor was once settled by thousands of native Hawaiians, and was considered the most fertile of the Big Island's many valleys. |
