    What To Expect

    Puukohola National Historic Park

    The ruins of the last major Ancient Hawaiian temple. The site is significant for its association with Kamehameha I, who unified the Hawaiian Islands. The heiau (temple), named Puʻukoholā, meaning "Temple on the Hill of the Whale," was constructed under the guidance of Kamehameha I following the advice of a respected priest to gain the favor of the war god Kūkaʻilimoku. Built entirely by hand without mortar, the red stones for the temple were transported by a human chain about 14 miles long from Pololū Valley. The construction involved thousands of people and was completed in less than a year.The site also includes the ruins of an earlier temple, Mailekini Heiau, and the nearby Hale o Kapuni, an underwater structure dedicated to sharks. Puʻukoholā Heiau played a crucial role in the unification of the Hawaiian Islands under Kamehameha I, marking a significant moment in Hawaiian history.

    Mahukona Beach Park

    Mahukona is a former settlement on the island of Hawaiʻi. This area was once the terminus of the Hawaiian Railroad and played a significant role in the sugar industry's history in the Kohala district. Mahukona served as a crucial port where sugarcane from plantations on the wet windward side of Kohala could be transported to ships for export. The harbor was developed by Samuel Gardner Wilder, who also built a pier at Mahukona harbor to facilitate this trade.A sugar mill was also built on the north side of the bay, and its remains still stand today. Despite its initial success, the port's significance declined over time, and by 1945, the railroad had closed. The town, which once consisted of about 40 families, was abandoned in the 1950s, and the harbor was closed in 1956. Today, the bay is the site of a park of Hawaii County, known as Mahukona Beach Park, offering fishing, snorkeling, picnic areas, and camping, despite lacking a sandy beach.
