Hiking Tour of Puʻuloa Petroglyphs

Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park

  • 2 - 3 hours
  • 5 tour stops

Walk in the footsteps of the kūpuna (elders) to Puʻuloa (hill of long life). It is a sacred and awe-inspiring gallery of kiʻi pōhaku (images carved in stone). These simple etchings document the life and culture of the native Hawaiian people. The petroglyphs are very fragile. Stay on the boardwalk. Walking on the lava surface will fragment the delicate petroglyphs.
