    The ruins of this 250 year old temple tell the story of the Hawaiian culture. Signs reminded us…read morethat we were on sacred grounds and to be respectful. Plaques describe the Hawaiian religion and the role the temple played in communication and honoring of the gods. Sacrificial offerings would have made to the gods on the site. The site played a role in the success of war. A high priest presided over ceremonies. The site was named a Registered National Historic Monument in 1962. A breathtaking view of Waimea and the channel between Oahu and Kaua'i can be observed from the site. The ruins are a bit off the beaten path of the North Shore. The road is windy and narrow, but the views and story are worth the trek. There was no charge for admission and we found ample parking during our visit, but there are no amenities. Wear good walking shoes if you want to take the short hike around the ruins. Worth a visit if you are interested in history of the Hawaiian people and their engineering and religious practices.

    It's a very peaceful sacred place to visit. Driving up the winding narrow road go slow on the speed…read morebumps and show aloha to the cars coming down. If you have multiple people in your party have someone watch the car and take turns due to car break ins. Make sure you wear sturdy shoes and don't touch anything. The sign says no dogs allowed. Use hushed tones and don't use swear words in this space. The Alii would perform ceremonies here and sacrifices. Follow the trail and take a short hike to the breathtaking views of Waimea. Can be a little steep so those with bad knees may be uncomfortable. Always throw your trash away into the bins and the most important rule is not to take anything home. Everything stays at the Heiau.
