Historical Places on the Island of Hawaii

Hawaii is home to some of the most historical places in Hawaii. The island provides the opportunity for the visitor to wander in the shadow of Hawaiian culture, from the birth place of King Kamehameha and King William and King William of Hawaii (the Hawaiian Cowboy) to the renovated hot island and the place of Captain Cook's deaths.

Hawaii, the youngest island in the island group, was considered the first island in Polynesia in the Marquesas Islands to arrive in Ka Lae (South Point) 1,500 years ago. Just a year later, after a controversial string of incidents, soldiers in Kealakekua Bay Cook were killing.

Throughout this period of exploration, the island of Hawaii was split into distinct chiefs and there was a conflict between the fractions. Kamehameha established the Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site in North Kohala from 1790-1791 as a homage to the Great Kukilimoku, the deity of the Great Patriotic War. The site was established to help in his endeavours to unify the Hawaiian islands.

It was the last large church Heiau (religious temple) constructed by the early Hawaiians and the biggest renovated heiau in Hawaii. Shortly after it was completed, Kohala-born Kamehameha took Hawaii Island and united the Kingdom of Hawaii. Much of Hawaii was also home to King Kamehameha's farm until he settled in Oahu in 1804.

Kamehameha the Great came back to his dear island Hawaii in 1812, where he passed away in 1819. Others from the West followed and brought cows to the island. Today the island of Hawaii is an important test for Hawaiian civilization. During the entire modernisation process it is assumed that an old Hawaiian deity lives here and is in good health.

Pele, the volcanic godship, moved to Kilauea Vulcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park after having moved along the island chains to the north.

Discover Hawaii's Big Island with a local

Warren Costa, a native leader, will share the island of Hawaii with those seeking adventures and higher education, from an extended walk on Mauna Ulu to sunbathing in the Puna Coast spas. Warren Costa, a native Hilo lad, is a former Mauna Kea outdoor rugger with an expansive archaeological and botanical back ground.

Hawai'i Native Guide brings travellers and natives on an adventure that they hardly know. Today Costa is the instructor and visitor from all over the globe are his pupils as he is taking them on private visits through Hawaii. Costa goes untouched ways with boot, rucksack, emergency gear and supplies, which give the visitor the liberty to get fully involved.

It is preferable to recreate volcanic outbursts in the volcanic sands with the naked fingers and eat ripe'ohelo grapes that sprout along the paths. Following a stay in the Armed Forces and a stay in the Waikiki restaurants in Hilo, Peru, Costa chose to give the University of Hawai'i another opportunity.

An anthropologist, he majored in hunger to gratify his profound interest in theory and civilization, especially in the Hawaiian tradition. After Costa finished his studies, he found himself in his right mind and wanted to be a teacher. Today a Warren-Costa-Tour is a real hottie. The Hawaiians know an genuine Hawaiian adventure when they are alive and verbal propaganda is spreading well.

Asked about the recent dispute over the Pahoa-Lavastrom dispute in October, Costa does not refer so much to the importance of Hawaiian legend, known as Pele - the volcanic gods of the Hawaiian islands, who was by far the catalyser for discussions in city halls and corporate communications - but his faith in environmental issues in general; an important element and a topic that he emphasizes to those who do his touring.
