About
Puako Petroglyphs, on Hawaii (Big Island), sits at 1 N Kaniku Dr, Waimea, HI 96743, United States, on the Kohala coast. First-time visitors can expect a walk to carved stone fields rather than a built attraction, with the petroglyphs themselves the focus of the visit.

Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona are all within reach, and the site's own page at https://www.gohawaii.com/islands/hawaii-big-island/regions/kohala/puako-petroglyph-archeological-preserve carries further information.
Cars are the main form of transport on Hawaiian islands, and the larger islands run public bus services, so a rental vehicle makes the drive along the coast straightforward. English and Hawaiian are both official languages of Hawaii, and Hawaiian words appear widely in place names.
Trade winds blow from the northeast across Hawaii, bringing most rain to the windward coasts, which is worth knowing when planning a day outdoors. The site's position on the Kohala coast places it within easy driving distance of the island's western resort areas and the town of Waimea.
