One of the Big Island's historical landmarks is the City of Refuge. Also known as Pu'uhonua Hōnaunau, the location is just south of Captain Cook and Kealakekua. It is part of the National Park system.
The park has been renovated to represent how Hawaiians lived before discovery by Captain Cook's first arrival on these islands. Restored with fish ponds and thatched long houses that were used as gathering places for daily life activities.
There is a Heiau here where Hawaiians worshiped their gods and conducted ceremonies. It makes you wonder what daily life must have been like for the ancient Hawaiians. No internet, no Facebook!
A hui hou!
