Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park

The Kaloko-Honokohau National Historic Park is located about 5 miles south of the Kona International Airport. It’s a special place filled with temples, petroglyphs, and fishponds that were built by Native Hawaiians. These fishponds were used to control the flow of water and help them survive in the park’s hot and dry climate. When you visit, keep an eye out for the honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles), monk seals, and native birds that live here. You can have a great time relaxing on the beach, swimming in the ocean, exploring tide pools, fishing, snorkeling, or taking walks on ancient footpaths. Don’t forget to drop by the visitor center where friendly rangers will be happy to answer your questions and provide information. They have brochures and a book store too!
