Kawaiaha'o means "the freshwater pool of Ha‘o". Ha'o was a Hawaiian Chiefess that used to frequent this natural spring a long time ago.
It has a long and colorful history and it happens to be in Downtown Honolulu. It is right next to the first Christian Church built in Oah'u, which is across the street from City Hall.
Surrounded by historical buildings, it is one of the most magical spots in Honolulu. Even though it is right next to a very busy corner of the modern city, you can feel the serene atmosphere as soon as you enter these gardens.
It is one of the few spots where ancient and modern Hawaii have joined in perfect harmony.
