Itinerary and highlights
Makapuu is located on the Ka Iwi coast of Oahu, containing the remains of a ridge that transcends the ocean below. The cliff at Makapuu Point Lookout frames the eastern tip of Oahu and is the site of a historically significant lighthouse.
Pele is the goddess of volcanoes and fire and is the creator of Hawaiian Islands. Situated on Oahu's south shore is a fascinating lava rock development that looks out over the ocean. In old Hawaii, this rock was referred to Kapaliokamoa, which means "the cliff of the chicken."
Makapuu Heiau is a temple on Oahu. Near Makapuu Heiau is also a Hawaiian Monk Seal Habitat.
Ulupo Heiau on the eastern edge of Kawai Nui Marsh in Kailua, Hawaii, is a cultural site storied in legend with the menehune, yet later with the Alii of Oahu, like Kakuhihewa in the 15th century and Kualii in the late 17th century.
