Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historic Park
There are quite a few National Historic parks on the Big Island of Hawaii but we only had time to do one. I chose to do this one because it was close to a really popular snorkel spot which we did after our visit. This park is beautiful and well worth a visit to learn more about the native Hawaiians that lived here long ago.
