ホノルル郡の湖・トップ6

Ka‘elepulu Pond is 95 acres of water, wetlands, and small, low islands. There is a strict catch-and-release policy in place for the lake as to help preserve the area as best as possible.

Since this is a lagoon, the water is very calm and perfect for swimming, kayaking, and standup paddleboarding. You'll often see families with young children here, as the park is located at the back of a neighborhood. Since it is set off of the main road, it is quiet and typically uncrowded. Dogs are welcome here! There are restrooms and showers here too!

Pa Launa is the main area of the Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden and is located right next to the Visitor Center and its parking lot. Take a stroll through beautiful plants and educate yourself about the local flora and fauna at the information plaques.

Free entry and a fantastic setting. A must see on Oahu. Unfortunately, stopping in the entrance area for a photo is forbidden, there were too many who stopped for Instagram.

Unfortunate, the area around the waterfall was very crowded and touristic. Nice waterfall though where you can also swim.

Waterfall with natural pool, life jackets compulsory, to be borrowed from the lifeguard present. Opening time depends on the day

This area around Kahana used to be used for fishing for the native Hawaiians. Known under the name: Huilua Fishpond

The Botanical Garden is a beautiful walk at the end of a waterfall. You can swim there too.
