To be honest, I don't ever spend much time at Kewalo Basin whenever I am in the neighborhood. With Ala Moana Mall/Beach Park, Ward Warehouse, and Kakaako Waterfront Park just a short ways away, the small park and harbor here just haven't seemed deserving of more than a walk through as I proceed to and from more popular attractions. However, it's worth mentioning this area because it is the home of several charter services, and a dark ancient Hawaiian history. Kewalo Basin was the home of numerous human sacrifices during the heyday of ancient Hawaii. Now, after knowing that, even if you are just passing on through you might be prompted to take a few seconds to ponder the history behind this scenic waterfront location.
