    Tips

    November 3, 2023

    Poliahu Heiau at Wailua River State Park in Wailua has views of the Wailua River and the Pacific Ocean. Here you can also see the ancient Hawai'ian temple, Poliahu. All these things can be seen from the turnout. Poliahu is believed to be a Luakini (ancient Hawaiian) temple for the god Ku for success in war. Sadly, the structures were destroyed in 1819 by colonialism. It is important for a visitor to note that the area is considered sacred to many, so be respectful when visiting.
