Waimea (or Kamuela) is primarily known for its cowboys, rodeo’s, and prime horseback-riding. There are however many more activities that can be enjoyed from Waimea, and most popular of all, the most beautiful beaches on the Island are only 15 mins away by car.
Nearby, Waipi’o valley is one of the most scenic places on the Big Island and offers stunning vistas and many miles of hiking trails and a black sand beach. Of course, there are also several options in town that you should not miss when passing through.

Activities and attraction that are specific to Waimea: Think of visiting the Parker Ranch, farmers markets or the local brewpub. Check out the schedule at the Kahilu Theatre which brings world class acts to town and local acts at their smaller theatre, the Mike Luce.
