Mokolii Island’s nickname, "Chinaman's Hat" came from its conical shape resembling the straw coolie hats used by immigrant workers. It is said that Chinaman's Hat is the remains of a giant mo'o (lizard god). The island is most accessible from the state's Kualoa Regional Beach Park. Getting to the island is up to you. Obviously, this requires crossing a body of water in some manner: kayaking, swimming, snorkeling, boating, etc. The island trail is a short but challenging 206-foot climb to the top. Windward, O'ahu
