Historic Kailua Village Walking Tour
Once a small Hawaiian fishing village, Kailua grew to become the political, social, and commercial center of Kona in the 19th century. When King Kamehameha I chose Kailua to be his final home, Kailua became the capital of Hawai`i for many years. Historic structures such as Hulihe`e Palace, Moku`aikaua Church, and St. Michael’s Catholic Church indicate Kailua’s importance as a favorite royal residence and center for early missionary activity. Learn more about Kailua’s colorful history by joining the Kona Historical Society’s award-winning Historic Kailua Village Walking Tour. The 75-minute guided stroll costs $15.00 per person and includes a 24-page booklet with over 40 archival photographs of Kailua Village.
