Rainbow Reef and Magic Island Day-Use Moorings
21° 16.7′ N · 157° 50.9′ W
State day-use moorings off Magic Island at the mouth of Ala Wai Harbor, a short dinghy or boat hop from the slips for a reef swim.
Practical
Two day-use mooring positions in the state GIS layer (21.27912/-157.84757 and 21.27935/-157.84753). Day-use moorings are for daytime use; tie to the buoy rather than anchoring on coral. The site sits beside the Ala Wai entrance channel, so watch boat traffic and keep clear of the channel.
Best for
Quick reef dip close to Ala Wai
