Kailua-Kona Things to Do: 105 reviews and 177 photos
Petroglyphs are found in all the Hawaiian Islands and the big island is no exception. The latin name means "rock writing" or "rock art". There is a high concentration of rock art near Volcano National Park. In Kailua-Kona the art can be viewed on paths next to the "Kings Shops" (across from the Marriott Beach Waikoloa Resort). The paths wind through 2 acres of lava rock and petrogyphs. Tours are given weekly starting at the Kings Shops or you can wander on your own. No admission is charged.
Directions: Petroglyphs can be found:
next to 'Kings Shops' in Waikoloa,
'Mauna Lani Resort' - follow signs,
Puako Petroglyph Archaeological Preserve - just north of the Mauna Lani Resort
