NA POHAKU O HAUWAHINE (The rock formation of the Hawaiian Mo`o goddess and guardian of Kawainui Marsh) is located on the right-hand side of Kapa`a Quarry road at the Y-intersection before entering the Kapa`a Landfill Transfer Station.

It offers a panoramic view into the "piko" of Kawainui Marsh where one can observe in tranquility the wetland birds and marsh vegetation. Ahahui Malama i ka Lokahi is the curator for this area. They are planting the 12 acres with native plants to recreate a dryland forest ecosystem. Brush removal and trail construction has revealed ancient Hawaiian terraces that align the massive rock outcrops. They are also working in the marsh, to form a wetland bird habitat.

Meet on the right side of Kapa'a Quarry Rd. about one mile from the intersection of Kapa'a Quarry Rd. and Kalanianaole Hwy.
