Kanei'olouma Heiau in Koloa, a part of the Koloa Heritage Trail, is an easy 0.1-mile out-and-back walk that leads to the Kanei'olouma Heiau (temple) and features a plethora of historical information about native Hawaiians, their use of this temple, and local historians who've spent decades preserving the history.
This is not a hike and barely a walk, but rather a quick stop to explore an ancient Hawaiian temple, learn about history, and how the temple was once used.
Parking
Visitors will find parking turnouts near the coordinates provided - located on either side of Hoowili Road in Koloa.
Pets
Dogs are allowed if leashed and visitors must pick up after them.
Respecting the Land
Hawaiian land is considered sacred to native Hawaiians and many locals, so please stay on-trail, take nothing but photos, and leave nothing but footprints. Respect the locals - don't stay for long and have a backup hike planned in case the parking lot is full.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller (Founder & Admin). As the Founder, main contributor, and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my trips with over-detailed write-ups for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, site maintainance, and app development for iOS and Android . I simply ask that if you find MyHikes' trail guides helpful to please consider becoming a Supporter to help keep the site, iOS, and Android apps available to everyone.
Supporters unlock website and in-app perks with a one-time payment of $25 (you renew) 😎👍. Or you can simply make a Donation of your choice without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing - both quick and free 🎉
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike!️
