KAUAI FLUME TOUR FULL

Spencer Park where there is a parking lot. Instead of bearing right at the beginning of the road, continue straight and go to Samuel M. there is another way to view the grounds.

If you should arrive at the park after 4 p.m. Visitors can just faintly make out its form below the water. Built as a tribute to the shark god, this temple is now completely covered by the ocean. One other point of interest in the park is the Hale o Kapuni Heiau. As you walk down the steep incline from the visitor's center you can come within 100 yards of the heiau, but due to rapid deterioration of the stairs, visitors are no longer allowed to explore the upper perimeter. In the visitor's center you can view a short video explaining the origins of the temple and a little background on King Kamehameha. The visitor's center is open at 7:30 a.m., and the gate to the road closes at 4 p.m. The entrance to the park is after the 2 mile marker makai on Highway 270. Today the heiau and neighboring structures are part of a national historic site. A battle broke out among the rivaling parties and Keoua and most of his men were killed. To celebrate the temple's completion, Kamehameha invited his cousin to visit Pu'ukohola. Keoua's control of the Big Island was especially insulting since it was Kamehameha's birthplace. Kamehameha's cousin, Keoua Kuahu'ula, was the last ruler preventing the king's complete domination of the island.

Read my full Kauai chocolate farm tour review. Once the temple was complete there was one task remaining. My 8-year-old thought this was the best farm tour on Kauai and insisted that I list it first. However, it is thought that the workers formed a 20-mile human chain stretching from Pololu Valley in the north to harvest water worn lava rock. Now, looking around this area one would assume there was no shortage of rocks to build such a temple.
