Maunalua Today

 

 

 

Maunalua’s value as a cultural resource has changed but not diminished.  It provides recreational areas such as parks and a boat launching ramp.  Canoe paddlers, kayakers, divers, surfers, boaters and fishers use the bay daily.  Hiking trails are generally easy to access, some reaching all the way to the summit of the Ko`olau Mountains.  Important cultural sites that can still be observed are a petroglyph/settlement site near Mariners ridge, and Pahua heiau near Kamilo Iki Ridge.
