Kahuku
Located in Kahuku, Oahu
You can find us in Kahuku, where the golden ilima grow. The northernmost point on the island of O'ahu, Kahuku is a historic plantation town. You can still see remnants of one of the island's first sugar mills hiding in plain sight. Now, a wildlife refuge makes Kahuku habitat for endangered Hawaiian shorebirds, waterbirds, native plants, and the threatened Honu - Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle.
Kuilima Hula
He nani Kuilima ua ‘ike ‘ia
Ku‘u home ho‘okipa (i) ka nui malihini
Kipa ho‘onanea me ke aloha
Pili mai Niukolu ‘olu‘olu ‘oe
Walea i ka la‘i Laeokaunu
Kaunu mālia nā malihini
‘Au‘au i ke kai a‘o Kalokoiki
Ke kai kūono (e) kaulana nei
Ha‘ina ka inoa ua lohe ‘ia
Aia i Kuilima ku‘u home nani
Ha‘ina hou ‘ia mai ka puana
Ho‘i ke aloha a i Kuilima.
Kuilima is a beautiful place, this is known
My home that welcomes the many visitors
Visit and relax with affection
Be refreshed in the presence of Niukolu
At ease in the serenity of Laeokaunu
The visitors are quietly thrilled
Swim in the sea at Kalokoiki
The cove that is becoming famous
The name is told, it has been heard
There at Kuilima is my beautiful home
Sing again the summary
May love return to Kuilima.
