At the northern end of O‘ahu's windward coast, Kahuku grew around a large sugar mill that operated from 1890 to 1971. The town was at the end of the O‘ahu Railway line from Honolulu; train service ended in 1947. The former cane fields north and west of town now produce vegetables and fruit, and aquaculture ponds nurture fish and shrimp. The old Kahuku Sugar Mill is now home to a variety of shops.

NATIONAL PARKHaleakala National Park From Kahului, follow SRs 36, 37, 377 and 378 sequentially to the park headquarters on SR 378. The 27-mile drive through plantations and ranch land (watch for stray cattle) reaches an elevation of 7,000 feet at the headquarters.
NATIONAL PARKHawai i Volcanoes National Park Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park is 29 miles southwest of Hilo and 96 miles east of Kailua via SR 11. Established in 1916 (back when Hawai‘i was a U.S. territory), the park is one of the planet's most geologically active areas and is home to two of the five volcanoes that comprise the island of Hawai‘i: Kīlauea and Mauna Loa. Most Hawai‘i Island vacationers spend a hurried day at the park (it's a long drive from the Kona coast resorts), but if you're on the island for a week or more, it's well worth staying a night or two at Volcano House (the park's only hotel) or somewhere in the nearby village of Volcano.
NATIONAL PARKKalaupapa National Historical Park Kalaupapa settlement and Kalaupapa National Historical Park are on Kalaupapa Peninsula (also called Makanalua Peninsula), which juts from the center of Moloka‘i's north coast. The peninsula is a low tongue of lava separated from the rest of the island—and the world—by a 1,660-foot bluff and an arc of heavy breakers.
NATIONAL PARKKaloko Honokohau National Historical Park Among the park's wildlife are sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals. The Kaloko Fish Pond is home to Hawaiian coots and stilts; during the winter the Aimakapa Fish Pond hosts various migratory birds. The park is ideal for hiking, fishing and snorkeling. Camping is prohibited.
NATIONAL PARKPu uhonua O HoNaunau National Historical Park Off SR 160, 22 miles south of Kailua-Kona, Pu‘uhonua o Hōnaunau, meaning “Place of Refuge of Hōnaunau,” is a fun site to explore and as a bonus offers a good Hawaiian history lesson. Established in the 15th century, this is a place modern-day jailbirds wish was still around. The coastal compound was one of Hawai‘i Island's six sacred spots that provided sanctuary to commoners who broke kapu (religious law). If they could successfully flee to the safety of the pu‘uhonua, the offenders would be absolved by a priest and could then return to a “new” life.
