Kohala Forest Reserve
About
Kohala Forest Reserve serves Hawaii (Big Island) from 52-5055 Akoni Pule Hwy, Waimea, HI 96743, United States. The reserve holds a 4.8 out of 5 average from 387 reviews, placing it among the higher-rated natural areas on the island. Visitors coming from Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook or Kona can reach it by road, though the drive from the eastern side is longer.
The reserve sits in the northern part of the island, inland from the Kohala Coast and near Waimea. More information is available at http://dlnr.hawaii.gov/forestry/frs/reserves/hawaii-island/. That 4.8 out of 5 average from 387 reviews reflects steady traffic from both Kona-side and Hilo-side travellers, and the reserve's position near Waimea puts it within reach of the island's main resort areas.
Hawaiian islands have windward and leeward coasts, with wetter and drier conditions respectively, and the Kohala area reflects that split. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in Hawaiian home cooking and lunch plates. Since no road or regular ferry links the Hawaiian islands, travel between them is by air.
Kohala Forest Reserve draws visitors who are already touring the island's upland and coastal stretches, and its 4.8 out of 5 average from 387 reviews suggests most leave satisfied. The Hawaiian monk seal and green sea turtle live in Hawaiian waters and haul out on its beaches, a reminder that the island's wildlife is part of any outing here. Waimea, Kailua-Kona, Hilo and the Kohala Coast all sit within the wider road network that leads to the reserve.
