Places To Go

Along the 175-miles of the Ala Kahakai National Historic Trail corridor, you'll encounter dozens of historic sites, heiau, and other places of interest.

Four of these places are part of the National Park Service: Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site, Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park, Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park, and Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.
