About

Whitefin Shark Fishpond - Lalakea Loko I'a, on Hawaii (Big Island), sits in Waimea, HI 96743, United States. First-time visitors should expect a historic fishpond site rather than a conventional stop, with the surrounding Waimea and Kohala Coast areas framing the visit.

Visitors rate it 4.7 out of 5 across 36 reviews, a strong average for a site of this kind. Reaching the attraction from the main towns is manageable by road, since Waimea connects to Kailua-Kona, Hilo and the Kohala Coast. Its position in Waimea places it in the island's upland interior.

English and Hawaiian are both official languages in Hawaii, and Hawaiian words appear widely in place names, so the name Lalakea Loko I'a fits a broader pattern. Lei garlands made from flowers or shells are given in Hawaii to mark greetings, birthdays and graduations, a custom that reflects the islands' traditions.

Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, while April to October is drier, so the drier months suit a visit to this outdoor site.
