Ruins of Kaunolu Village
Lanai, Hawaii
Articles and information about the Lanai Island ruins of
an ancient ancient Hawaiian fishing community known as
Kaunolu Village.
The ruins of a Hawaiian village sit on top
of some of the highest cliffs on the island of Lanai.
Kaunolu was once an important fishing village on Lanai.
Today is is an archeological site with petroglyphs,
the ruins of about 80 houses, a place of worship called
Halulu Heiau. The 90 foot cliff between
this village and the ocean is known as "Kahekili's Leap".
It is said that this village was the summer
residence of King Kamehameha I, but it has been
uninhabited since about 1900. The site is now
an interpretive park, meaning there is a trail
with signs that describe what life in the fishing
village was like.
Kaunolu Village has been designated by the United States
as a National Historic Landmark.
