Kukui Heiau

Kukui Heiau, also called ʻAʻa Kukui, is a historic archaeological site near Wailua on Kauai that preserves the remains of a traditional Hawaiian temple. Covering 1.1 acres, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. The site stands on state land donated by neighboring condominium developers. Although the grounds have been landscaped, the heiau still retains its facing walls and remains significant for its commanding view over Wailua Bay, which helps convey both its original setting and its historical importance.
