Located in the Waimea Mountains, the Waimea Canyon has beautiful cliffs and spectacular mountain views, not only Hawaii but also one of the world’s largest canyons. Waimea Canyon is ideal for looking for spectacular scenery and tranquil surroundings with many viewing spots and trails. Waimea Canyon Lookout This observation deck is located at the top of Waimea Canyon and offers a good view of the entire canyon and surrounding mountains. It is recommended to come around noon, when the sun shines directly at the bottom of the canyon and the magnificent scenery is unobstructed. If it is too early to take pictures, it is backlit, and if it is too late to come to the bottom of the canyon, it will be blocked by shadows. Parking is charged, but after paying once, keep the receipt and go to other observation deck parking lots along the way.
