Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park
Things To Do
 

Step back in time to the Hawai'i of yesterday.  Explore how Hawaiians survived and thrived on such a seemingly hot, desolate and barren landscape.  Marvel at the ingenuity and engineering skills used to construct the fishponds and fish trap.  Immerse yourself in the clear blue Pacific Ocean and discover corals reefs and tropical fishes.  Walk along the peaceful seashore, watch the sunset and feel the spirit of Kaloko-Honokohau.

Did You Know?
Did you know the game of Konane is similar to checkers in the way the pieces are moved on the game board and similar to chess in that the winner is the player who is able to make the final move. Chiefs would sometimes use the game to settle disputes.
