Just behind Hahaione Valley and to the east of it is Kamehame Ridge. It travels high behind Hawaii Kai, Koko Crater then drops quickly into Kalama Valley. Kamilo Nui and Kamilo Iki are the areas adjacent to Hawaii Kai Drive, as you travel up Lunalilo Home Road, near the skate park. On the water’s edge at the end of Lunalilo Home Road is Portlock. The schools of the Kaiser school complex include Hahaione Elementary School, Kamiloiki Elementary School, Koko Head Elementary School, Niu Valley Middle School, and Kaiser High School.

Koko Head Terrace as you can guess is on the slope of Koko Crater on the back side of it, toward the Hawaii Kai Golf Course, you will find the Koko Head Botanical Garden. A two-mile loop trail leads visitors through a variety of dryland plant collections from Hawaii and around the world.  Koko Crater is a large crater that is a strenuous 2-hour hike. The Queen’s Gate gated community is across the street from the garden. Koko Head Crater overlooks Makapu’u, Diamond Head, The Marina, Sandy Beach, and Hanauma Bay.  Koko Head is the elevated, longer, flatter piece of land that extends into Maunalua Bay.

As you can see, Hawaii Kai has a lot to offer. Shopping at Koko Marina, Hawaii Kai Towne Center, Costco, Safeway, Longs, Ross and more. Great restaurants such as Harbor Village, Blue Water Grill, The Shack, and my favorite, Kona Brewing. If you are looking for a Hawaii home, give me a call.
