Waiki‘i (off Old Saddle Road)
This stretch of Old Saddle Road through Waikiʻi Ranch offers good viewing of pasture and dry open area species. This area is a good spot to see pueo and chestnut-bellied sandgrouse. This is a fast road with many blind turns. Be sure to give plenty of warning before pulling over, and pull over completely off the road. These ranch lands are privately owed; stay out of fenced areas.
Pasture and grasslands
