Haleki'i-Pihana Heiau State Monument

Description:

• The site protects two important heiau (religious sites) used as war temples by Maui's last ruling chief, Kahekili. It is thought that on occasion these may have been the sites of human sacrifices. The walk around the hieau is about one-half mile and takes about 15 minutes.

  Aside from the chance to view this site steeped in Hawai'ian history, this park provides an excellent view of central Maui and the Wailuku Plain.

  Visitors to Haleki'i-Pihana Heiau will enjoy interpreting the ruins of this historical site and the scenic views visible from the park.

  This park lies in north central Maui southwest of Nehe Point in Kahului Bay. It can be accessed from Waiehu Beach Road via Kuhio Place at the end of Hea Place.
