The Ulupo Heiau is an ancient Hawaiian temple that may have been used for agricultural ceremonies to promote crop fertility and later dedicated to promoting wartime successes.
Follow the small path to right of the rock platform and you can explore a traditional taro patch. Taro is an important part of Hawaiian culture. It represents the origin of humankind and is used to make poi - a beloved local food. Remember, a heiau is a sacred place for Hawaiians and must be treated with respect.
