Kualoa Beach Park weddings · 1-808-294-9385 · infi8ity@gmail.com
Get away from the city to the country. Kualoa Beach Park is about a 45-minute drive from Waikiki, at the end of Kane'ohe Bay on Oahu's windward coast, on the way to the North Shore. On the drive out you may see cows and horses grazing.
The park's 150 acres of grassy beachfront sit below the magnificent Ko'olau Mountains. Just offshore is the islet that gives the place its nickname, Chinaman's Hat; its Hawaiian name is Mokoli'i, "little lizard". Kualoa is one of the most sacred places on Oahu, with a rich ancient history written along its mountain ridges, and it has become one of the island's most treasured spots.
This is the country: there are no hotels, estates or churches nearby, just open lawns, mountains and the ocean. Below are some of the weddings Aloha Island Weddings has planned and coordinated at this gorgeous park, and directions to the park.
Why Kualoa
Why Have Your Wedding at Kualoa?
Kualoa gives you one of the most dramatic backdrops in Hawaii: the green Ko'olau cliffs rise right behind you while Chinaman's Hat floats in the turquoise water in front. The wide, grassy lawns have room for chairs, an arch and all your guests, with shade trees and the beach just steps away. Far from the city crowds, it feels peaceful and private, and every direction makes a stunning photo.
As one of Oahu's most sacred places, Kualoa also gives your ceremony a special sense of Hawaiian history and aloha.

Kualoa from Above
“The stars are my candles, the sun is my light, the clouds are my shade, and the translucent blue sky my stained glass windows. The sound of the sea is a choir and the gentle wind the movement of love. With sand beneath our feet, we will marry in God's own cathedral.”

Hawaiian legend
The Tail of the Lizard
The offshore islet Mokoli'i is said to be the tail of a giant lizard. Hi'iaka, goddess of light and Pele's younger sister, was traveling along the windward coast to visit family on the North Shore when she came upon the great lizard. She fought it mightily, then spared its life, cutting off only its tail with spears of lightning and throwing it into the ocean off Kualoa. Today the islet is popularly called "Chinaman's Hat" because, to some, it looks like a Chinese hat.
