Kalāhuipuaʻa Historical Park

The fishponds are functioning aquaculture, not landscape features. Do not enter the ponds, do not feed the fish, do not move stones in the walls. The walls are loko kuapā construction — fitted stone without mortar — and pulling one stone destabilizes the wall. The lava-tube shelter on the loop is a pre-contact habitation site; do not enter it. The petroglyphs are kiʻi pōhaku and follow the same rules as Puakō: look, do not touch. The park is a working partnership between the resort and Hawaiian cultural practitioners — the upkeep is real labor by real people.
