Quick Answer: Elk are not native to Hawaii, and there are no wild populations on the islands. However, you can see captive elk at the Honolulu Zoo and at private ranches on the Big Island. For those who love elk, we've gathered top elk gifts including t-shirts, stickers, mugs, and art prints to honor these majestic animals.
Are There Wild Elk in Hawaii?
No. Hawaii's native land mammals are only the Hawaiian hoary bat and monk seal. Elk have never been introduced to the wild here. The animals often mistaken for elk are axis deer, which were introduced in the 1860s and now thrive on Maui, Lanai, and Molokai. You can read more about axis deer in our Hawaii deer guide.
Where Can You See Captive Elk in Hawaii?
The Honolulu Zoo has a small herd of elk in their North American section. Some private wildlife parks on the Big Island, such as the Hawaii Wildlife Center, may also house elk. Call ahead before visiting. If you're planning a trip, check our elk category for more elk-related content.
