The major visitor attraction in the Honokaa area is Waipio Valley. The valley is about a 15 minute drive out of town along highway 24. Tourists can drive their rental cars to the valley lookout where they are greeted by a majestic view of the valley's floor and walls. Off in the distance is the island of Maui, clearly visible on a sunny, cloudless day. Visitors can visit the valley floor by hiking or booking a tour with the Waipio Valley Shuttle service. Only 4 wheel drive vehicles are allowed to traverse the steep, narrow and winding road into the valley. Experienced, local drivers should navigate this road.

Besides Waipio Valley, Honokaa Town itself is worth a walk through its streets. Several interesting shops are worth stopping by. If you're in town on a Saturday morning, the weekly Farmer's Market day happens in front of the old Botelho building. Local farmers are there selling everything from fresh vegetables to cut flowers. Just outside Honokaa is the Kalopa State Park. It is a very nice forested area where people can hike and camp (with the proper permits).
