Upolu Point is the most northern point on the island of Hawaii in the Hawaiian Islands.[1] It is an extruding landform created by cooled lava from an old eruption from Mauna Kea. The main town on the extrusion is Hawi. The main ring road which encircles the island and volcanoes journeys away from the rest of the road to create the Akoni Pule Highway which goes to the tip of the Upolu Point. Upolu Point also overlooks Mahukona Harbor.
The landform extends into the Alenuihaha Channel which separates Hawaii and Maui as well as Kahoolawe. The opposite end of the island is Ka Lae which is translated into South Point.
No main roads are located along the east side of the landform due to the undulating terrain. The western side of the point is smooth and this is on which the ring road is located. A smaller, road of lesser importance runs along the central area of the point and reconnects the end of the main road to the rest of the ring road.
The nearest airport is Upolu Airport which is located slightly inland from the most northern tip of Upolu Point.
There are two major reservoirs on Upolu Point:
- Puuokumau Reservoir
- Kehena Reservoir
These are both located along the Kohala Mountain Road along the centre of Upolu Point.
