Geology

Kahauloa Crater formed out of eruptions by the Koʻolau Range during its rejuvenating stage. These eruptions are known as the Honolulu Volcanic Series, which also created other nearby tuff cones such as the famous Diamond Head.

Pyroclastic units in Hanauma Bay indicate that both the craters of Hanauma and Kahauloa likely had overlapping eruptions at one point.[3]
