Description
Highway 580, or Kuamo'o Road, is mainly known for the many Heiaus, or historical Hawaiian religious sites, that can be found on its sides. Kalaeokamanu Heiau is one of the oldest in Hawaii, and Poliahu Heiau overlooks the Wailua River. You can also check out Opaeka'a Falls, whose water rages during the winter months. This nice scenic drive will give you a feel of how ancient Hawaiians used to live, at once caring for and marveling at the beautiful nature that surrounded them.
