Halawa Valley The Halawa Valley is located at the northeast
tip of Molokai at the end of Highway 450. In the old days many
people lived in this area and worked fertile fields in the valley.
Here you can still find several ancient temples.
Ililiopae Heiau
Sixteen miles east of Kaunakakai on Highway 450, you will find
the second largest heiau in the state of Hawaii, which was the site
for human sacrifices. The land here is privately-owned and you have
to ask for permission to visit the temple site.
Kaiaka Rock
This heiau used to be the place of Hawaiian priests to study.
There is not too much left of the ancient temple, but perhaps you
can feel the “mana” in the air.
Kauleonanahoa
This massive rock, located in the Palaau State Park, has been a
fertility shrine for centuries, which is obvious when you see the
shape of the rock. It is mostly natural, but people helped along
with some carving.
