Overview
Kanaha Pond State Wildlife Sanctuary is a 143-acre wetland beside Kahului, designated a state sanctuary in 1951 and a National Natural Landmark in 1971. Bird watching is the main draw: the pond shelters two endangered Hawaiian species, the Hawaiian coot (ʻalae keʻokeʻo) and the Hawaiian stilt (aeʻo), and has hosted rare vagrants including the Belted Kingfisher and Hawaii’s first Black-tailed Godwit.
