Walk Through History: The Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail
Koili Point • May 30, 2025
Step back in time by exploring the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail, a 175-mile corridor that weaves through ancient Hawaiian settlements, sacred sites, and stunning coastal landscapes.
Trail Highlights:
- Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park : Discover a place of refuge with reconstructed temples and royal grounds.
- Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park : Explore fishponds, petroglyphs, and learn about traditional Hawaiian aquaculture.
- Scenic Hikes : Enjoy segments of the trail that offer panoramic ocean views and opportunities to spot native wildlife.
Travel Tip : Wear sturdy footwear, carry water, and respect the cultural significance of the sites by staying on designated paths.
With that, let me leave you with a Hawaiian word of the day: 'Puʻuhonua' -- which translates to 'a place of refuge or safety in time of war' in English!
