Located in Honolulu, Hawaii, the Ala Wai Canal offers a scenic and well-lit walkway along its 1.5-mile long drainage canal, making it a popular destination for jogging, strolling, kayaking, and canoeing. The canal, which was once swampland and rice paddies, now serves as the entrance to Waikiki and drains rainwater from the mountains, eventually emptying into the Pacific Ocean at the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. Despite ongoing concerns about sewage and street water runoff, the canal remains a picturesque spot for outdoor activities and is home to various marine life.
The Ala Wai Canal is also home to the Hawaii Convention Center, located on ten acres next to the canal, offering a convenient venue for events and conferences. With its rich history and transformation from wetlands to a vibrant recreational area, the Ala Wai Canal provides visitors with a unique glimpse into the natural and cultural heritage of Honolulu.
