Honolulu, Hawaii Parks

Waimea Falls Park

Waimea Falls Park is a historical natural park that bolsters ancient Hawaiian lifestyle. Cliff diving, hula performances, music demonstrations, archaeological sites and 35 botanical gardens are just some of the highlights. At the heart of the park is a 45 ft. high waterfall where divers re-enact Hawaiian warrior games by climbing the slippery waterfall and diving from various ledges into the rocky pool below.

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve

Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, one of the most spectacular natural resources in Hawaii, is reaping the benefits of over a decade of moves to re-establish its pristine marine ecosystem. Recognizing the damage done by years of neglect and abuse by allowing some three million visitors annually, the City and County of Honolulu in 1990 laid out a plan to restore Hanauma to a clean, healthy state by reducing the number of visitors, establishing an education program, and instituting supportive restrictions.

The culmination of the protection and preservation efforts are the major upper and lower bay facility improvements, the heart of which is the award-winning Marine Education Center, that opened in August 2002. Hanauma now has a site where its education program flourishes. A short video welcomes residents and visitors, encouraging them to join staff and volunteers as stewards of this precious gift of Hanauma and other living reef environments they may visit.

Located south of Honolulu, the Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve is dedicated to preseving the marine life that exists along the Hawaiian coast.
