Ulupō Heiau State Historic Site - Tourist attraction in Kailua - , USA

National cultural and historical site. Small, there is not much walking, just one hill. It's impressive to imagine what was once there. Sad it is so destroyed. There is a plaque, but read about it before you go.

What an interesting place. It's so beautiful and peaceful. It's a little confusing to get there, but once you're there, make sure to take the path around to the right and go down and take it all in from the side and bottom. I was told that they have been doing a lot of clean-up and making it even more beautiful place.

Came across this cool Hawaiian temple ruin through the Shaka Guy app. I learned something new and the ruins were cool. Not easy to find, walk the road next to the YMCA. It's a quick stop.

Sacred to the Hawaiians. Not an easy place to access. You either have to park somewhere in the main road and walk down the trail or park at the YMCA. The site is within a residential community.

This one is kind of weird. It's very cool and feels like it should be a bigger attraction, but the parking and site are hidden behind a YMCA with no signage. I don't know if that's intentional to keep tourist traffic down, but a huge site like this with some pretty interesting history should be a little more popular. Beautiful view with a nice trail running through some marsh land.

Historic location. Ancient heiau. Native plants. Chickens. Park at the YMCA and walk along a road for 50 yards to reach the heiau. Walk another 100 feet to find the Native garden including taro, kekui nut trees, pandanas/lahala trees, breadfruit trees, sugarcane, Noni, and more.

Very cool to see this bit of ancient Hawaiian heritage and culture. If arriving here via the Shaka app, be aware that you can’t drive in like the app suggests. You’ll need to park at the YMCA but it’s a very short walk.

Beautiful and Majestic. Came here for my daughter's school field trip to learn about the Kailua community that they live and learn in. It is one of those places where you get to see, learn, and study Hawaiian History and Mythology. Our culture and past is very precious to us Kanaka Maoli, if you are planning to visit here, please come with respect, and keep it clean. The Windward YMCA staff and faculty is also the caretakers along with Hawaii DLNR so if you have any questions please contact/speak with them.
