Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park

Kaloko Fishpond is the largest walled fishpond in the state (800 ft. long)
Along the western coastline of the Island of Hawaiʻi lies the hot, rugged lava of Kaloko, Honokōhau. This seemingly barren and harsh landscape does not appear to be suitable for human existence, and yet, long before written history, the Hawaiian people built a thriving settlement upon this ʻaʻā lava.

The rehabilitation of Kaloko fishpond started in 1998 and still continues today....
