"Visit a Coconut Grove Fit for a King" Molokai Things to Do Tip by BlueCollar

The Kapuâiwa Coconut Grove is just that - a coconut grove. It sits near Kaunakakai and was originally planted in the 1860's by Kamehameha V.

Take a stroll through, if you're brave. But consider yourself warned because these trees have NOT been sanitized of their fruit like so many others throughout these islands. The ocassional thud you will hear reminds you of the force with which they may impact your skull. Be careful enough that the thud you hear is NOT from a coconut striking your head. :() It gives the adage "keep looking up" a whole new importance.

The morning we were here was one of the few days on this trip where we had blue sky. It was a very welcomed change.

Do you know how many varieties of coconut there are? How many can you find at this park? Do you know the original size (acreage) of the grove?

Directions: On Hwy 460 just west of Kaunakakai
