Hikinaakala Heiau, Wailua River State Park
This ancient heiau, or temple, was dedicated to the Hawaiian god Lono and was once a place of worship, ceremonies, and offerings for the Hawaiian people. The name Hikinaakala translates to "rising of the sun," which is fitting as this heiau was said to align with the exact spot where the sun rises on the summer solstice. It is believed that visiting this heiau can bring good luck and blessings to those who honor and respect it.
Today, Hikinaakala Heiau stands as a protected cultural site and offers visitors a glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Hawaiian people. While exploring this sacred site, visitors can also take in the stunning natural surroundings of the Wailua River State Park, including the lush vegetation and peaceful river nearby. It is a must-see destination for those looking to learn more about Hawaiian culture and connect with the spiritual significance of this special place.
