Historic Place of Refuge

Kaupili Rd (at Kaunolu Village) Lana`i, HI 96763 |
Description
Located next to the ancient seaside village of Kaunolu, this site is full of beauty. It was a sacred refuge and a traditional meeting place for the Hawaiians in ancient times. After making your way inland from the eastern bank of Kaunolu, you'll be surrounded by towering cliffs on three sides and witness to one of the most amazing sights in Kaunolu. Although it's not easy to reach, and there isn't a whole lot to do once you're there, this place is ranked by some experts as one of Lanai's best family excursions.
