This refuge (referred to as a refuge because many migratory birds take refuge here) is particularly popular for bird watching; specially when migratory birds are present from the duration of August to April. The refuge is popular for up close glimpses of some endangered species. You can specially consider visiting and viewing the diversity of migratory birds that is found here during winter. In August, you can spot shorebirds and the waterfowl begins increasing from the months of September and October.

Kealia Pond Travel Tips

  • Recreational activities such as bicycling, ball throwing, frisbees, jogging, and skateboarding are not wildlife-dependent and result in altering birds behavior from feeding or resting to avoidance.
  • Pets are not allowed on the refuge for these same reasons. Non wildlife dependent activities can be performed in the numerous county parks located along South Kihei Road in Kihei.
  • Disturbing or removing plants, animals, rocks, fossils, or artifacts is prohibited.
  • Printed and virtual information is often available on many topics, including plants and animals, seasonal migrations, habitats, refuge management strategies, and endangered species.
  • Please check with the refuge management before participating in an activity that could harm the environment or yourself. 
  • There are plenty of activities for you to enjoy.  Be safe and have fun! The best time to visit is in the morning, when the sun and wind are not as strong.
  • Shaded areas are very limited on the refuge so we recommend you come prepared with sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, and water.
