Hiking Trails and Beaches of Kaloko, Big Island Hawaii

A thriving Hawai'ian community out here in the middle of the desert? At Honokohau, ancient Hawai'ians took advantage of abundant freshwater springs to site a large community centered around fishing, fishponds and taro fields. The National Historic Park preserves a vast complex of important archeological sites, including heiaus, fishponds, a fishtrap, house sites, burials, a holua (sledding track), a Queen s Bath and abundant petroglyphs. An information center and bookshop is located between the two access roads off the highway and the best place to start any exploration of the National Park. As a beach, Ai'iopio Beach is one of Kona s finest, most protected and fun places to swim. Abundant shade along a long wide beach and a protected reach make this is perfect to take children though the water is a little murky for ideal snorkeling.

Thank you for asking! I have all the bits and pieces for it, but unfortunately, I am currently in Canda (and have been for the last year) finishing a documentary film about Captain Cook...so...it's coming, but it's on the back burner...
