Waimea Canyon, also known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific, is a large canyon, approximately ten miles (16 km) long and up to 3,000 feet (900 m) deep, located on the western side of Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands. The canyon was formed by a deep incision of the Waimea River arising from the extreme rainfall on the island's central peak, Mount Waiʻaleʻale, among the wettest places on earth.
Its easy to visit and only about a 1 to two hour travel time journey depending on your island location.
Because its one of the rainiest places on earth its often best to go early in the day before the afternoon showers. You may hike in the canyon if you travel to Koke'e State Park.
