Churches in Kona is a self-guided tour of historic Christian sites along the Kona Coast of Hawaii's Big Island. It covers 19th-century stone churches, including Mokuaikaua Church, the first Christian church in Hawaii, and the restored St. Peter's by the Sea. The activity suits travellers interested in Hawaiian mission history and coastal architecture.
What to expect
- Visit Mokuaikaua Church, built in 1837 from lava rock and coral mortar, with a 112-foot steeple.
- See St. Peter's by the Sea, a tiny 1880s church with a blue tin roof, set on a black lava shoreline.
- Tour the grounds of the 1855 Huliheʻe Palace, a former royal residence, adjacent to Mokuaikaua Church.
- Drive the 10-mile coastal route between Kailua-Kona and Kealakekua Bay, stopping at 5 historic churches.
- Allow 2 to 3 hours for the full circuit, including short walks and photo stops at each site.
- Suitable for history buffs and self-drive travellers; no admission fees for most church exteriors.
