Most special events and activities held within Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site require a Special Use Permit. These permits are issued and approved only after National Park Service staff determine that the activity will not impair park values, resources, and visitor enjoyment.

A Special Use Permit is required for activities that provide a benefit to an individual, group, or organization, rather than the public at large and for activities that require some degree of management by the National Park Service in order to protect park resources and the public interest.

Please allow four weeks for the processing of permit applications. First Amendment applications will receive an application review within two business days.

For more information, please contact the Park. (Phone service is currently unavailable. Please contact the park by email at [e-mail])
