Makauwahi Cave Trail - Just a few miles from Shipwreck Beach lies Makauwahi Cave, an intriguing sinkhole within a large limestone cave.

Geologists believe the cave began forming up to 400,000 years ago as a sand dune. Today, it stands as one of Hawai’i’s richest fossil sites!

This quaint temple was constructed in 1910 by Japanese immigrants who came to work in the sugar cane fields.

Menehune Fish Pond - After exploring Koloa Town, take an optional drive a few miles out of town to witness a beautiful valley with a historically significant fishpond.
