About Ahupua'a O Kahana State Park

Kahana Valley rises from Kahana Bay to the summit of Puʻu Pauao at 2,670 feet, making up the only publicly owned ahupuaʻa, a traditional Hawaiian land division running from mountain to sea, in the state. The valley sits on Oʻahu's windward side and holds a tropical climate with some of the heaviest rainfall on the island, reaching close to 300 inches a year in places. The park's stated purpose centers on teaching and preserving Hawaiian culture rather than standard recreation.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
