Itinerary
- This valley is sacred and was kapu to all but Hawaiian royalty. The sheer, inaccessible cliffs in `Iao Valley were used as a burial site for Hawai’i’s ali'i for centuries. Ancient Hawaiian’s believed that their bones contained their mana. Desecrating or stealing bones could give power, control, and even cause harm to living descendants.
- PARK IS CLOSED FOR REPAIRS. When you first enter the park you can choose to cross a footbridge or descend to an exhibition area where the park has simplistically modeled what the greater valley (just outside of ‘Iao) once was. They have constructed a hale with thatched roof common for the time, and have many examples of plants that were cultivated in pre-contact Hawai’i. PARK CLOSED DUE TO STORM UNTIL JUNE 30 OF 2026. (30 mins)
- lavender farm (60 mins)
- Hawaiian disrillery (60 mins)
