    Hiking

    Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau is a temple complex and a great place to learn about Hawaiian culture. The area once was royally owned and a refuge for people who broke the kapu (holy laws). If the lawbreaker made it to the area without getting caught by his pursuers, he was given absolution and could return to society.
