Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park
Admission includedAlong the sun-baked lava fields north of Kailua-Kona, Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park opens onto a landscape that feels genuinely unchanged. Salt air drifts across brackish ponds where Hawaiian coots paddle quietly, and the stone walls of ancient fishponds rise from the water just as they did centuries ago. Kaloko-Honokōhau rewards those who slow down and look carefully at what the land still holds.
