|
This hamlet of just a few houses, located to the south of Lahaina on road 30, played a part in Hawaii's history. In 1790 the Massacre of Olowalu ("many hills") took place among the native Hawaiians led by an American sea captain - an opponent of Kamehameha I.
Today's attractions are the 200-300-year-old petroglyphs located near here. They can only be reached on foot and are not easy to find. Different activities of the ancient Hawaiians are portrayed - fishing, canoeing and weaving. It is best to ask for directions at a petrol station by the roadside.
