Ala Kahakai

A portion of Ala Kahakai – the King's Trail – winds through Waikoloa, offering a somewhat incongruous dose of ancient Hawaiian history and heritage within Waikoloa's pruned landscape and resort amenities. The trail is accessible via several points located along ‘Anaeho‘omalu Bay beach; note that sharp lava rocks start cropping up as the trail edges near the golf course. Any ruins you may spot along this area fall within protected federal lands.
