Kahekili's Leap

Kahekili's Leap, Lanai

Kahekili's Leap is a rock ledge on Lanai's south shore. It was here where King Kamehameha's warriors proved their bravery by leaping 80 feet (24 m) into the ocean below. This is a steep rock face, but what adds to the challenge is the fact that the rocks at the base extend about 15 feet (4.5 m) outwards and the water is only about 10-20 feet (3-6 m) deep and the ocean bottom rocky.
