Kane‘ohe Information

Located in the southeastern part of Oahu, Kaneohe is approximately twenty minutes away by car from downtown Honolulu. Kaneohe means “bamboo man” in Hawaiian, and the town was named after an ancient Hawaiian story. Kaneohe is one of the largest residential communities on Oahu’s windward side and is a great place to go relax and get away from the bustle of Honolulu, yet still offers visitors many things to see and do.

There are three different golf courses in the area: Pali Golf Course is public, while Ko’olau Golf Club and Bayview Golf Park are both privately owned but open to the public. Other points of interest include the lush Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden, a 400-acre garden located at the base of the Ko’olau Mountains that is open daily without charge, as well as the Hawaii National Veterans Cemetery, a historical burial site built in a volcanic crater to honor veterans of four wars. Kaneohe Bay is one of the island’s most photographed spots, and is a breeding ground for hammerhead sharks, while a popular local gathering spot is the Kane’one Sandbar, which is a spot for those with boats who also like to barbecue and snorkel. The Byody-In-Temple at the Valley of the Temples Memorial Park is a well-known attraction that was built in the 1960s to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the arrival of the first Japanese immigrant workers who worked in the sugar plantation fields.
