Makai Research Pier

4.4(101 reviews)

About

On Oahu, Makai Research Pier sits at 41-305 Kalanianaʻole Hwy in Waimanalo, HI 96795, on the windward coast. The pier is known for its position out over the water at the end of the road in Waimanalo. First-time visitors should expect a setting on the ocean side of the island rather than in Honolulu.

A 4.4 out of 5 average across 101 reviews reflects a solid record of feedback. That total gives the score a reasonable base of ratings behind it. Waimanalo sits on the windward side, and Kailua and Lanikai lie nearby along the same coast. Honolulu, Waikiki and Pearl Harbor are reached by crossing the island, while the North Shore and Haleiwa sit further round the coastline.

Details are published at makai.com. The Kalanianaʻole Hwy position places it in Waimanalo rather than the leeward side of Oahu.

Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March, with drier conditions from April to October. Humpback whales arrive in Hawaiian waters to breed between roughly November and May. Spam, rice and macaroni salad are common in local home cooking and lunch plates. No road or regular ferry connects the Hawaiian islands, so inter-island travel is by air.
