普豪那欧何纳拉国家历史公园印象

go for sunset by the picnic tables on the ocean. Amazing! close by is the snorkeling beach also amazing.
-
Very peaceful area, great on your own walking tour with well marked points of interest. Great photo ops with ocean and palm tree backdrops.

one of the several National Historic Parks on the Big Island [ Hawaii ] . located on the West Coast of the island south of Kona/Keahou region off Highway 19 the Queen's Highway. The refuge so-called because it was a sanctuary for anyone who offended the Kings , who might otherwise have been killed for their offenses. There are a number of exhibits depicting the history, animal life, archaeiligical and historical objects as well as the marine life of the area. Uniformed Park Service people do a great job of explaining the many, many interesting features. in addition, there are often individuals present who demonstrate early crafts in 'native' costume depicting many of the important parts of the history of King Kamehameha and his successors who unified the islands before the USA, deposed the royal leaders

This is a National Historical Park operated by the National Park Service. It is a beautiful 420 acre site with many coconut trees, several re-built temples and sacred sites, re-created fish ponds, and a large stone wall built without mortar that marks the City of Refuge. It is an idyllic setting, fitting for royalty, and one can imagine the king ruling his country from this location looking out on the ocean. There is a handy map with a numbered guide to the various sites around the park. It's about a half-mile loop and can be done in less than an hour. There is a small gift shop and restrooms.

My husband and i were really looking forward to visiting this historic sight. We enjoyed our brief time there and marveled at the amazing wall, the sheer scale of which is mindboggling. My only beef with this otherwise beautiful park were the string barriers run with cloth/plastic strips to keep people from the water - it reduced the beauty and significance of the place dramatically. However, we still enjoyed our brief visit and for the $5 entry fee it was time and money well spent.

Nice historical park. Helpful staff. I liked the recreation of what life was like. You could park outside and walk in but parking is only $5 and good for 7 days! If you walk in there is a $1 charge. Bathrooms are nice. No swimming or snorkeling within park boundaries. But, adjacent to boat dock is a bay open to the public. See Honaunau Bay reviews.

We visited in the late afternoon of a cloudy day with sprinkles of rain. None of those kept us from enjoying a very interesting and special place. We got there too late to hear any ranger talks, but we used the NPS map/guide to the park to help us understand what we were seeing. Some of the interest points are not well-marked or explained, and that made us work a little harder to visualize what it looked like centuries ago. Overall, the site is very impressive and helpful to understanding Hawaiian culture. The beautiful location alone makes it worth visiting.

We found this little gem by accident when we were looking for another unmarked landmark (a far too familiar story in Hawai'i).This national park is well worth the $5.00 per vehicle. Well maintained, with a gift shop, bathrooms, a theatre showing informative movies, and a superbly maintained, and well marked route throughout the historic site. A bonus is the tidal pools that one can walk around (not in) and see colourful fish, perhaps a turtle, and other sea life.They even have specially adapted wheel chairs with huge rubber tires that will roll through the pathway.Make sure to grab the little brochure at the beginning as it very clearly explains the various interest points. If you want, bring your bathing suit and snorkel gear and spend some time at the beach next to it.The left side is lovely for children and those less brave in the water. You may want to have your beach shoes with you. Also bring your camera and big lens and get some lovely photos of three or four different types of coloured birds.We spent an enjoyable five hours between the two places.

To be honest, we drove right by the first time - look for the Hawaiian name only - no "place of refuge" anywhere on the sign off the main road.For some reason the park service is paying a ranger to sit in the gate booth to NOT take money (great govt management at its best), but admission is 'supposed' to be $5 per car. Plenty of parking & it's worth seeing. Apparently the orange net barricades in part of the village is because they had some surf damage; but there's plenty to see and it was not crowded, so we did not feel rushed.Be sure to take a park brochure (yes, they're free too) near entrance - it will help you with a self-guided, leisurely tour & each area is numbered so you can understand the functions of various areas.Adjacent snorkel beach was busy, but when visiting the historical part of the park, please respect the rules of no smoking, sunbathing, wading or making self- aggrandizing "art" with stones or shells in the compound. You probably shouldn't be here if you're that type of disrespectful visitor. No picnicking in the preserve itself, but it looked like a picnic area is designated near the parking lot.Tip: wear closed toe shoes... The trails go over some rocky areas and the sand is large & coarse - not very sandal friendly.

The City of Refuge is a place you don't want to miss if you're interested in the Hawaiian culture. It will keep the attention of both young and old. You'll see where and how the Hawaiian people lived, the games they played and their rituals. It is handicap accessible. Check out their web site...bring your bathing suit and snorkeling gear because there is a beach within walking distance from the site. There's a fee for parking unless you have a senior park pass.
