Puʻuhonua — Royal Grounds

Puʻuhonua O Hōnaunau National Historical Park — Take a step back in time to ancient Hawaiʻi and walk in the footsteps of the ancestors. Explore the Royal Grounds which were once reserved for the chiefdom of Kona and pass beyond the Great Wall into the Puʻuhonua, where people found refuge during war or after breaking a kapu (religious law). This self-guided walking tour is about half of a mile long. The terrain is a mixture of crushed coral sand and lava rock.
