What to Do in Koloa

Learn More

Kōloa blossomed after the first sugar mill on the island was erected in 1835. Its port, Kōloa Landing, rivaled Honolulu and Lahaina as a storage depot for whaling ships. The sugar mill no longer exists, and Kōloa, with its false-front buildings, seems a remnant from another time.

DESTINATIONKoloa Kōloa blossomed after the first sugar mill on the island was erected in 1835. Its port, Kōloa Landing, rivaled Honolulu and Lahaina as a storage depot for whaling ships. The sugar mill no longer exists, and Kōloa, with its false-front buildings, seems a remnant from another time.
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 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.
