Churches in Puna is a self-guided tour of historic and active churches across the Puna district on the Big Island of Hawaii. The activity covers congregations from the 19th-century Hawaiian mission era to modern community chapels, with stops in Pahoa, Kalapana, and along Highway 130. Each church offers a distinct architectural style and a window into local religious and cultural history.
What to expect
- Tour format is self-paced, typically taking 2 to 4 hours by car, with each church stop lasting 15 to 30 minutes
- Includes exterior and interior viewing of churches such as Star of the Sea Painted Church, known for its hand-painted biblical murals on wood panels
- Visitors see active Sunday services and weekday community events at several locations, with schedules posted on church notice boards
- Suitable for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts, as the route includes both restored stone structures and simple wooden chapels
- Each stop provides parking and a short walking path, with some churches offering printed historical brochures at the entrance
- The tour ends at the Kalapana lava-viewing area, where the 1960 eruption destroyed the original church, leaving a memorial marker
