He'eia State Park

He'eia State Park offers fantastic things to do for families with kids, including climbing trees, stunning views, picnic areas, snorkeling spots, and birdwatching opportunities. Restrooms are also conveniently available. Overall, my experience was positive, and I recommend others to visit this gem of a park.

This State Park hold events such as wedding, birthdays, or whatever celebration you want. We came here for a wedding. It's such a beautiful space (inside and outside! The hall was decorated beautifully. And the outdoor space is just breathtaking! The space includes the ceremony area, reception hall, bridal suite with private bathroom, and security.The indoor space is definitely big enough for 300 people. The outdoor portion had space for outdoor activities (games or whatever) or you can just enjoy the scenic view. The park is near a beach which is open to the public. The event space areas are closed to the public while an event is going on (big plus). The food and drinks are catered separately. The staff were very kind and helpful. It truly is a beautiful space!

A great place for event rentals. The park is managed by Kama'aina Kids, a non-profit organization. The park is a great place to sit have lunch or a snack as you look out to Kaneohe Bay and the fish ponds. There is also a very nice garden down below. I've been here for weddings, birthday parties, and cultural events. The scenery is what sells this place in having an event there. The space is provided but you have to do all the labor in set up and clean up. This maybe a deterrent for you but that scenery is God's slice of heaven.

Beautiful park to visit in He'eia, Oahu. If it were a nicer day, we would have stayed longer. He'eia State Park offers excellent mountain and ocean views and a lovely place for a picnic. It has a diverse garden and views of the He'eia fishpond (although not part of the park). We visited on a cold, rainy day, but would have liked to spend more time here if sunnier!

He'eia State Park is a hidden gem!! We made reservations for kayaking and snorkeling for the following day and we were in the area so we stopped in to get a preview and get a lay of the land.The next day, we checked in at a table outside of the banquet hall and the park guide was so nice and answered all of our questions. They even provided dry bags for our valuables at no extra charge! We went down the path to where you get your gear and kayaks. All the park guides were very concerned for everyone's safety and made sure we knew how to use the equipment and had a good fit on the life jackets and flippers. The Perception brand kayaks were great quality! We were provided with a map and told where you can and can't go and where the best place to see fish and turtles! And they saw a huge turtle about 3 feet in diameter and some beautiful fish! The guide that distributed life vests, etc. said that the military base is close by and we might be seeing and hearing huge cargo planes and we sure did!It wasn't too crowded and we just had the best day ever at this state park! * Bring a Go Pro or other underwater camera to photograph what you see!

Off the beaten path... beautiful, quiet, tranquil. You can enjoy the views and get fresh ocean air while sitting on a bench in shade.

Great place to celebrate anything. They provide tables and chairs. It has a nice view. The parking sucks tho, because if you have an event and have lots of people coming, they can't close off the parking lot just for your party. It has to be open to the park visitors too. So there's not too many parking stalls. And make sure you clean up to get your deposit back. Other than that, it's a great place for a venue.

Awesome beach. Parking and calm waters. Would recommend. Good for any age. Bathrooms on site.

Another gem on my the Windward side of the Island!!My small family of three decided to spend some time this Sunday driving up Kamehameha highway to do some exploring! I am beyond glad that we did!! He'eia state park is gorgeous!We walked around and learned that there is Kayaking here! We will be doing this very soon!! Easy way to get to water and the views are really breathtaking! This is less than 15 minutes from our home! I seriously can't wait to go back and try the kayaking!The grounds seem to be very well kept. I'm not sure what the one negative review is all about I'm not sure where you can go here in Hawaii where there are not feral cats and or chickens...exactly there aren't. These creatures are not bothering anyone so let's not use them to give a beautiful place a bad name...okay rant over:/Any-who this park is perfect if you want to watch the sunset, walk, or just want panoramic views of the bay, this park is for you and the kiddos.

2nd largest fish pond on island. So cool to hear that many non-profits contribute to restoring and actively maintaining this pond that's 600-800 years old! My son, friend, and I was fortunate to volunteer with Hui o Ko'olaupoko working on water restoration. The parking lot seems well maintained and when I arrived, there were many volunteers working on park clean up. The bathroom was pretty clean! Great views from atop of the Ko'olau mountain and Kaneohe Bay. There are certain day(s) where you can sign up and pay to fish here. Something my family will be back for! You do have to cross the water which can be either ankle deep or waist deep to get to the wall. Many people work very hard in maintaining the wall and it's not meant for everyone to go on top of. So if you do get the access to get on the wall, show respect! Those rocks aren't cemented in and could crumble.. Nice park to have a picnic or a decent sized party. There are kayaking opportunities too and a boat harbor right behind.
