Can't imagine it'd take more than 8 hours to do everything in the valley.

I love the greenery though, and staying the night could be fun.

BBQ and hanging out on the beach at night would probably be awesome.

If you love greenery you're on the wrong island.
Either way, I wouldn't feel comfortable sleeping down there with the family. Lot of crazies there and at least when I was there, no cell service.

Also beware of flash flooding. Buddy of mine had to get rescued by helicopter.

Any recommondations for lodging in Waipio valley that won't break the bank?

I'm tempted to hike in, sleep there, and then hike (or hitch) out the following morning.
Does anyone know if the shuttle service will let me book a one way trip?

I believe so, but ask the shliach.

also how much time do you need at each airport in Hawaii?
ill be in hnl for 8 days.
but I wanted to do 2 extra islands just to see them (I know you really need 4 days in each island.
if I go to the kona for 7 hrs and maui for 5 hrs.
is there stuff that to do that will make it worth it?

You know generally when people here say they went to OGG or LIH they don't actually mean they only went to the airport, they're using the airport code to refer to the whole island

Looks stunning, but the 'cleaning fee' is 100, almost the cost of the base rental.
