The community is a close-knit one that has roots going back to the sugar plantation days of more than 100 years ago. The plantation is gone, but the community lives on. Honokaa residents and those living in the surrounding area have proven to be resilient and have managed to maintain their unique and cherished lifestyles. Businesses have defied the odds and are catering to new markets in and out of the area. The future is bright for this rural Hamakua Community.

The Hamakua District consists of Honokaa, Kapulena, Kukuihaele, Haina, Paauhau, Ahualoa, Kalopa and Paauilo areas

The major visitor attraction in the Honokaa area is Waipio Valley. Here are some pictures of the 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.
