Poli'Ahu Heiau is a legendary structure located in Kapaa, HI, just across the road from the stunning Opaeka'a Falls. This ancient heiau, or place of worship, is one of seven along the Wailua River, which holds great significance to the Hawaiian people. While not the largest heiau on the island, Poli'Ahu is an impressive and mystical site to visit, offering an overlook of the Wailua River. It is believed by the Hawaiians that the heiau was built by the Menehune, an ancient race of small people who inhabited the islands before the Tahitians.
To reach Poli'Ahu Heiau, visitors can take Kumao'o Road Hwy 580 north for two miles. It is important to respect the sacredness of this place by not disturbing the rocks or sitting on the walls. Poli'Ahu Heiau is a must-visit destination for those interested in Hawaiian history and culture.
