Day 9 - First Tour Day - Nawiliwili & Fern Grotto
Holoholokū Heiau (place of worship) is located on the south side of Kuamo‘o Road (Hwy. 580), just off the main highway. Said to be one of Kaua‘i’s oldest heiau, Holoholokū is relatively small, measuring about 20 feet by 40 feet (6 m by 12 m). Holoholokū Heiau was a luakini, where human sacrifices were performed.
A birthstone on the western side of the site is where ancient ali‘i (Hawaiian royalty) gave birth. A plaque on the stone reads “Pohaku Hoohanau Birthstone.” Another rock on the site has a plaque that reads “Pohaku Piko,” and this pōhaku (stone) was where the baby’s umbilical cord (piko) was left to ensure the child’s health.
