Amazing Tropical Rabbit Island Oahu Hawaii Stock Image

Rabbit Island, also known as Manana Island, is located off the southeastern shore of Oahu, about ¾ of a mile 1.2 km off of Kaupo Beach, just northwest of Makapuu Point. It is a volcanic tuff cone island, encompassing 63 acres 0.25 sq. km and rising to about 360 feet 110 m at its highest point. It was not named after its shape, although many regard the island to be formed in the likeness of a rabbit, but because originally it was the location of a rabbit-raising farm. In 1994, the rabbits were removed because they started destroying the native ecosystem of the island, which is an important seabird breeding area.
