Real Sacred Excursion
The ancient gods of Hawaii deemed specific places in the islands to be sacred. These locations are known as wahi pana or the sacred places of Hawaii. These sacred locations include the dwelling places of their gods and their disciples, petroglyphs, selected observation points, volcanoes, cliffs, heiau, and many more.
On this popular excursion, guests will visit several of the most ancient and sacred locations in Hawaii. View the Ko’olau Mountains with caves, the most sacred of all burial sites. Visit ancient fishponds, the Royal Birthing Stones and Heiaus petroglyphs. The Polynesian guide will explain as a native, and as a teacher, each of these sites and what makes them so sacred to the Hawaiians. As an added bonus to this excursion guests may actually do a mini “circle island” tour (weather permitting), as they will be taken almost completely around the island in this tour.
Guests will be driven to each site in our passenger van. There is some walking but walking is minimal since this is primarily a visitation tour. If Hawaiian ceremonial activities are taking place, guests are asked to be respectful, being sure to speak quietly and control and children who may be with them. All sites are considered sacred to Hawaiians, guests should be cautioned not to remove structures of displace any items at the sites.
Water and a stop for a plate lunch or fresh fruit are included on this excursion.
