Churches in Puako is a self-guided tour of historic Christian sites in the small coastal village of Puako on the Big Island of Hawaii. The tour focuses on the 19th-century stone church and its adjacent cemetery, set among kiawe trees near the shoreline. Visitors see original coral-block masonry and grave markers that reflect the area's Hawaiian and missionary heritage.
What to expect
- Tour the 1855 Puako Church, built from coral blocks quarried from the nearby reef, with a wooden bell tower and simple interior
- Walk the cemetery grounds to read headstones dating from the 1860s, including markers for Native Hawaiian families and early ranching settlers
- Spend 30 to 45 minutes on site, with no admission fee and open daylight hours for self-guided viewing
- Observe the church's restored 19th-century pews and a period pulpit, preserved in their original arrangement
- Suitable for history enthusiasts and quiet reflection, with shade from kiawe trees and a short path from the roadside parking area
