South Lanai At the Kaunolu Archaeological Park a fishing
village once thrived. Here you can find a temple, gravesites, house
platforms and several other structures.
Kaunolu
The Halulu Heiau is only accessible with 4-wheel drive. This was
King Kamehameha’s favorite fishing spot and he rebuilt an ancient
heiau, a sacred Hawaiian temple site. This one was one of the last
temples that were built. Just a few years later, the missionaries
arrived in Hawaii and things began to change.
Luahiwa Heiau and Petroglyphs
Petroglyphs are ancient carvings of images in rocks. Some of the
rocks here tell the story of the rain gods. You’ll find the Luahiwa
Heiau on Manele Bay Road, past the water tank.
Birdman of Lanai, Shipwreck Beach Petroglyphs
This one is not easy to find and only accessible by 4-wheel drive
before a short hike. On the ruins of a lighthouse, you’ll find an
arrow pointing to the petroglyphs. The images here are mysterious as
they show human stick figures with the heads of birds.
