More information on Kewalo Basin

This small harbor and park area is a favorite with fishing boats and pleasure cruisers. Voyager Submarines and Ali'i Kai Sport Fishing are two of the notable marine activity companies with a home base at this port. There is also a fish market, a high-tech research facility, a small park and a dolphin center on the premises. The area has a rather gruesome history; in pre-contact Hawai'i, it was used as a human sacrifice spot. (This is not a fact that is commonly shared in the tourist guides or cruise ship brochures.)
