This valley is rich in cultural and spiritual values and is the site of the battle of Kepaniwai where the forces of Kamehameha I conquered the Maui army in 1790.
A paved 0.6 mile walk provides a scenic viewpoint of Kuka‘emoku
(a.k.a. the ʻIao Needle), an erosional feature which abruptly rises 1200
feet from the valley floor.
A botanical garden features plants brought by the
Hawaiians who settled in Iao Valley.
