About the Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge
Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge, located on North Kihei Road in Kihei, Hawaii, is a park and tourist attraction that offers visitors the opportunity to observe Hawai‘i's endangered wetland birds as well as a variety of migratory birds from faraway places like Alaska, Canada, and Asia. Established in 1992, the refuge is a hidden treasure amidst urban development and agriculture fields, providing a peaceful sanctuary for endangered Hawaiian waterbirds like the ae‘o (Hawaiian stilt) and ‘alae ke‘oke‘o (Hawaiian coot). In the winter months, over 30 species of waterfowl, shorebirds, and migratory ducks can be spotted at the refuge. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is actively working to manage water levels to control the population of midges that can become a nuisance during certain seasons. The refuge is part of the National Wildlife Refuge System, dedicated to conserving and protecting wildlife and their habitats for the benefit of the American people. Visitors can enjoy the tranquility and beauty of the wetlands while supporting the important work of wildlife conservation.

Reviews of Keālia Pond National Wildlife Refuge
"Wide-opened area with the pink pond, and nice boardwalk next to a beach. Getting there from South Kihei is a little tricky as it is on the left side - best is to follow Google direction. Depending on the sun light and viewing angle, the water could appear pink. Parking is a little tough during peak time. However, with a little patience of waiting, one can get a spot as visitors come and go."
"Such a pleasant walk. We went when the water had turned from pink to burgundy. Can't wait until winter."
"Small wildlife wetland area for a quiet walk on a raised boardwalk. Drought has reduced most of the wetland to dry patches. This has provided a pink water patch that is a part of the Kealia pond. This is fascinating and nice to view. The parking lot is small, holding less than a dozen cars. Parking on the street is limited and mostly restricted."
"A nice natural area with a new, comfortable walking platform to view the ponds and flora. A good quick diversion and the pink pond is a special, rare occasion!"
"Go to the visitor center before heading out to the boardwalk or walking around the ponds so you can get the bird watching guide and possibly borrow binoculars. There is a clean public restroom at the visitor center. There is one picnic table out by the wildlife viewing parking lot closest to the picnic area. We saw so many interesting birds here. Well worth the drive. You need to walk slowly and quietly to observe and appreciate this area, so I wouldn’t recommend for smaller kids. Be sure to walk out the dunes by the boardwalk area (separate from visitor center area). Beautiful beach, popular with locals, so try to visit on a weekday if you can."
