Information About Living in Hawaii Kai

Hawaii Kai is the largest of several communities at the eastern side of Oahu. Home to exclusive neighborhoods like Portlock, hahaione, Kaalakei Valley, Mariners Ridge, Queen’s Gate, and Kalama Valley, Hawaii Kai and the surrounding area features a range of housing options, including some very upscale properties, especially in Portlock. The local Koko Marina was dredged from Kuapa Pond in 1959, transforming the shallow inlet into a marine embayment and allowing waterfront residents to moor their personal boats in front of their houses. Hawaii Kai residents of real estate homes or condominiums for sale enjoy the area’s distance from downtown Honolulu, wonderful views, diverse complexion, and convenient resources, making it one of the most desirable places to live on Oahu.

Some of Hawaii Kai’s numerous attractions include Queen's Gate Golf Course, Sandy Beach, Makapuu Lighthouse and beach, Koko Crater Botanical Garden, the "From Here to Eternity" cove, and Hanauma Bay. Hawaii Kai also hosts the Koko Marina Shopping Center that includes various retailers, Costco, a few groceries stores, restaurants, a 24-Hour Fitness Center, a movie theater complex, and recreational gear rental and tour centers. Because of Hawaii Kai’s proximity to the water, many people indulge in water activities besides swimming and surfing, like jet skiing, boating, and other extreme water sports in the relative calm and flat bay. The noted Koko Head and Koko Head Crater provide not only interesting vistas and wonderful hikes, but also engaging recreational facilities.
