Reaching this peaceful place ensured safety for vanquished warriors and anyone who had offended the mighty Hawaiian chiefs or their gods. Once at the Pu'uhonua o Honaunau, the offenders were safe from their enemies and protected by the gods. The site, in South Kona, has been completely restored and offers a fascinating glimpse into Hawaii's colorful past.
