Waikoloa Petroglyph Field
About
In Hawaii (Big Island), Waikoloa Petroglyph Field lies within Waikoloa Village, HI 96738.
This attraction is known for its concentration of ancient rock carvings, set in the dry, lava-strewn landscape of the island's western side. Visitors rate it 4.3 out of 5 from 297 reviews, a solid response that reflects its appeal among those who make the trip. First-time visitors should expect uneven volcanic terrain underfoot and should come prepared for sun, as the area offers little shade.
The field sits within reach of Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Volcano, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona, all accessible by car. Since no road or regular ferry links the Hawaiian islands, travel between them is by air, though getting around the Big Island itself is done by road.
Hawaii's warm tropical climate means daytime temperatures change little between summer and winter, so heat is a constant consideration. Hawaiian Creole English, commonly called Pidgin, is spoken widely across the islands, alongside English and Hawaiian as official languages. Spam, rice and macaroni salad appear widely in home cooking and lunch plates, a familiar part of local eating.
