The history of old Hawaii comes alive at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau. Walk along the ocean, past Keone’ele Cove where once only ali'i (chiefs) were allowed to go. Imagine the Kapu breakers fleeing their pursuers as they swim across the bay to the safety of the pu'uhonua. Marvel at the engineering accomplishments of the Hawaiians as you pass along the great wall and heiau. The people and places here have left many stories waiting to be told.

Review a short glossary of Hawaiian words.
