KOLOA

KAUAI

Small town Koloa, in southern Kauai, was once the base for a flourishing sugar plantation. The sugar mill opened in 1835 and set the precedent for commercial sugar production across the islands. Koloa has retained much of its old charm with many plantation buildings in the area, giving it an “Old West” feel.

Stroll by Koloa’s old-fashioned storefronts and shop for special gifts or island souvenirs. Get an ice cream cone and enjoy it under the shade of the large monkey pod trees. Then stop by the Koloa History Center or visit the Sugar Monument to learn about Koloa’s sweet heritage.
