An ancient place of refuge, Puuhonua-o-Honaunau National Historical Park is one of Hawaii’s most sacred historic sites. You can learn about Hawaiian culture and history as you take a self-guided tour of this deeply spiritual site. Highlights of your visit will include the Great Wall, which is up to 17 feet thick in places, and the fierce-looking Kii (wooden totem-like images of the gods who protect the sacred temple). You will also be able to see the royal canoe landing beach and ancient fishing pools. The park offers daily ranger talks, which will greatly enhance your visit and deepen your understanding of the history and culture that surround you.
