Driving directions with map:
From either Waimea (Mountain Road) or Kona (Queen Ka‘ahumanu Hwy.), reach Akoni Pule Highway (Hwy 270), and drive in the direction of Pololu look-out. Go through Kapa‘au, past the statue. When you pass a stretch of houses along the highway (Hala‘ula), you’ll also pass the 25 Mile Marker. Keep going. Pretty soon you dip into a gulch and back out again. On your right is the Rankin Gallery and a Chinese temple. Begin looking for a sign to a cemetery, on your left (ocean side), just before you cross a one-lane bridge and before you pass the 26 mile marker. Turn into this road.
(NEW LOCATION) At the T, turn left again. Stay on this uneven road through a tunnel of trees and until you reach its end, right where it wants to veer back to the highway. Continue on through the double gate along another tunnel of trees and take a right at the gate with the Vipassana Hawaii sign affixed. Sometimes the gate remains closed until about a quarter to 4, so if you arrive early, just walk in or wait for one of the local Sangha to unlock it.
