Established in 1978 for the preservation, protection and interpretation of traditional native Hawaiian activities and culture, Kaloko-Honokvhau NHP is an 1160 acre park full of incredible cultural and historical significance. It is the site of an ancient Hawaiian settlement which encompasses portions of four different ahupua`a, or traditional sea to mountain land divisions. Resources include fishponds, kahua (house site platforms), ki`i pvhaku (petroglyphs), hvlua (stone slide), and heiau (religious site).

Visitation:

The park receives approximately 45,000 visitors annually. Although visitation is fairly steady throughout the year, like other places in Hawaii, the park receives more visitors in the winter months than in the summer months.

The park's administrative headquarters is located in the Kaloko New Industrial Park along Highway 19. From the highway, turn mauka (towards the mountain) on Hinalani Street and then make your first right onto Kanalani Street. Turn right into the fourth driveway on your right. The headquarters is located at the end of that driveway. Office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The Kaloko road gate is located across the highway from the Kaloko New Industrial Park (across from the big yellow "Kona Trade Center" building). You can also access the park from the south end, by way of the north end of the Honokvhau small boat harbor.

Visitors can hike along the coast through the park and enjoy other activities such as: picnicking, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, bird-watching, and surfing.

Please leave the park as you found it, and preserve this national heritage for future generations.
