Part of the History of Hawai'i Island

Begin at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, where native Hawaiians have been living for centuries. The park is home to a stunning beach, with handmade fishponds and seawalls, and you will see sacred temples and petroglyphs.
Drive through downtown Kona and pass by Hulihee Palace, vacation home to Hawaiian royalty, and Mokuaikaua Church, the oldest Christian church in Hawai'i. Hear about Captain James Cook’s arrival at Kealakekua Bay.
Finally, we visit Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park. This is a special place where Hawaiians who had broken an ancient law could come to be absolved by a priest. We’ll take a narrated walking tour of the park to learn more about its history.

Visit Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau (City of Refuge)

This is a sacred place that has been an active religious site for Native Hawaiians for hundreds of years. Now managed by the National Park Service, lineal descendants of the place continue to perpetuate ancestral traditions as caretakers and cultural practitioners. As a result, the heiau (temple) and other features within the park continue to function as a religious site for Native Hawaiians. The puʻuhonua (place of refuge) was established in the late 1500s, and for centuries it served as a safe haven for those who had broken one of the kapu (laws). Today, the puʻuhonua is still considered a place of refuge, and it is used for religious ceremonies and cultural events.
