When is the best time to go to Waipio?

While Waipio Valley is a stunning natural wonder, it's important to note that access to the valley floor is strictly restricted to residents and permitted vehicles only, making it unsuitable for overnight stays for most visitors. Therefore, the best areas to stay for those wishing to visit the Waipio Valley overlook and explore the surrounding region are the nearby towns of Honoka'a and Waimea. Honoka'a, located about 20 minutes east of the Waipio Valley overlook, offers a good base for exploring the Hamakua Coast. This small, historic town has a main street, Mamane Street, lined with a few local shops, eateries, and art galleries. It provides a convenient and quieter option for those who appreciate local charm and want to be close to the valley's viewpoint. Waimea, situated further inland and about a 45-minute drive from the Waipio Valley overlook, is a larger and more developed town. It's known for its ranching heritage and offers more dining and accommodation choices, from boutique hotels to vacation rentals.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel’s cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right Waipio hotel for you.

How much is the nightly rate at a Waipio hotel?

Hotel prices in Waipio often vary, but you can find a great deal on Expedia. Different factors affect nightly hotel rates, such as the time of year or the days of the week you want to book. To find the best deals for your stay, be flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.

Top Waipio Hotel Reviews

Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

8/10 Good

"Overall the hotel is clean and smells freshly. Hallway carpet is clean, unfortunately the noise from elevator is kind of lousy. Air conditioning is also noisy ."

Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa, Waikiki Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Moana Surfrider will officially now be the only hotel I stay when I visit Waikiki. The staff, hotel, room, gym, proximity to food and everything in between, was perfect. The person who checked us in, Yumi, was warm and welcoming and help us to upgrade our room to a beautiful ocean view. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! We are definitely returning costumers."

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The view from the room was incredible! Right above the infinity pool. Our room did not have a kitchen or kitchenette so we had no place to cut any of the fruit we purchased (my oversight when booking) The hotel is literally a walking distance to absolutely anything you can think of."
