Hawaii Kai

The Hawaii Kai area is a slice of paradise nestled in the southeast corner of Oahu that was once wetland and is now one of Oahu’s wealthiest communities. The transformation was made possible by Henry J. Kaiser in 1959, who dredged up the fishpond and helped develop the area into the idyllic community it is today.

Despite the community's rapid growth in residential and commercial development, a conscious effort has been made to preserve area nature sites. Thanks to this, the area offers not only a bounty of dining and shopping opportunities but also a wealth of outdoor fun for all ages.
