Address:

Description

This heiau was once a place of worship for ancient Hawaiians, and is the largest one located on the island of Lana`i. It is located just past the Garden of the Gods, and offers a unique insight into the lives of the people who originally inhabited the island. It was constructed in the 17th century to honor the god of agriculture, Lono, and consists of a large stone platform and other stone ruins. It's located on the red dirt road that leads out to Kaena Point and is a good place to stop on your way to Polihua Beach.
