Review:

Once the summer home of Hawaiian King Kamehameha III, the Kaniakapupu Palace was built in 1845, and once contained a massive stone porch, several buildings for kitchens and other services, and a huge main room where the king relaxed and slept. There was also a garden and a temple, and together it created a beautiful respite from the summer heat and from the rest of the world. But today, all that is left are some crumbling stone walls where it once stood and is now being slowly reclaimed by Mother Nature. The Kaniakapupu Ruins can be reached via a short hiking trail called the Lulumahu Hiking Trail.
