Mokolii Island - Kualoa County Regional Park - Chinaman's Hat

This conical rock, formed from volcanic tuff stone on Mokolii Island, is noted for its unique shape, which resembles a Chinese hat. A fine view of this rock, pointing out of the sea, can be gained from Kualoa County Regional Park, north of Kaneohe. It is only possible to cover the 1477ft/450m distance to the island by foot at low tide. Suitable shoes are needed because of the jagged coral.

Mokolii means "small dragon" - according to Hawaiian legend the rock is the creature's tail, while its body is beneath the water.
