Aloha Mixed Plate

Exceptional plate lunches served outside, where there’s a grand ocean view.
Da Kitchen

Sumo-sized portions of popular local foods – teriyaki, katsu, Hawaiian plate.
Dragon Dragon

Prawns with walnuts, whole fish, crab in black bean sauce, and lychee sherbet – all delicious.
Home Maid Bakery

Amazing assortment of pastries and wonderful hot malasadas (Portuguese donuts) early morning and late at night.
Hulopo’e Beach

This palm-fringed, white sand beach is the classic picture of Hawai’i. A shallow pool blasted from the rock for the island’s children provides easy viewing of tidepool life, the waves are usually mellow, and the snorkeling terrific.
Kālua Pork

The centerpiece of any lū’au , or feast, is the whole pig, slowroasted (kālua) in an underground oven – an imu . The meat literally falls from the bones. The same cooking method works equally well with turkey, squash, and sweet potatoes.
Kalua’aha Church

A complete restoration is underway to rebuild this church, site of the first Protestant mission on Moloka’i.
Kānepu’u Reserve

The Native Hawaiian Dryland Forest at Kānepu’u is an area of rare plant life. Some 48 native species can be found here, including local relatives of the olive and persimmon.
Kane’apua Rock

The waters around this lava rock outcropping at the southern tip of Lāna’i are well known for excellent fishing. The ocean is often rough, though, and not good for swimming.
Kapuāiwa Coconut Grove

A grove planted in the 1860s by King Kamehameha V. As well as providing shade for the king’s sacred bathing pools, each of the 1,000 majestic, royal coconut palms represented a warrior in his mighty army. Only a few hundred of the beautiful palms still stand.
