Hawai‘i Island
The Island of Hawaiʻi has such a rich history and diverse landscapes that it’s home to five national park sites. Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park has two of the most active volcanoes on Earth, Kīlauea and Maunaloa, and offers many activities, from scenic drives to hiking trails. Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, meaning, “place of refuge at Hōnaunau,” in ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i, is a sacred oceanside site that served as a sanctuary for early Hawaiian lawbreakers and others fleeing death or harm. Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site is home to one of the last heiau (temples) built in Hawai‘i, completed on orders from King Kamehameha I to honor his family war god Kūkāʻilimoku. Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park preserves four ahupuaʻa (ocean-to-mountain land divisions) and two historic fishponds engineered and constructed by early Hawaiians. The Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail is a 175-mile oceanside corridor, encompassing a network of culturally and historically significant trails along the west and southeast coasts of Hawai‘i Island.
