See the place to which ancient Hawaiians fled for safety when they broke the kapu, or sacred laws. Pu'uhonua o Honaunau National Historical Park was once the site of the royal grounds and a place of refuge for ancient Hawaiian lawbreakers. Today, the 180-acre historical park is still one of Hawaii's most sacred sites. Visitors can take a self-guided tour and discover the Great Wall, which stands 10-feet high and 17-feet thick, and the Hale o Keawe Heiau, a sacred temple that housed the bones of 23 ali'i (chiefs).
