Kamokila Hawaiian Village
About
On Kauai, Kamokila Hawaiian Village presents traditional Hawaiian culture in a village setting, with hula, chant and craft traditions forming part of what is shown. The site sits at 5523-5519 Kuamoo Rd, Kapaʻa, HI 96746, United States, near Kapaʻa on the island's eastern side.
First-time visitors should expect a self-paced walk through the grounds rather than a fixed indoor exhibition, so comfortable footwear and time to look around both help. A 4.3 out of 5 average from 441 reviews places it among the more visited cultural sites on the island. The village's own site at http://villagekauai.com/ covers what is on offer.
Reaching it from Lihue, Kapaa or the northern communities of Princeville and Hanalei is manageable by car, since driving is the main way around the island and the larger islands also run public bus services. The nearby places of Poipu, Kilauea, Koloa and Waimea sit within the wider island region, so travellers moving between them pass through or near the Kapaʻa area.
Kauai's climate stays warm throughout the year, and daytime temperatures vary little between summer and winter. Hawaiian Creole English, usually called Pidgin, is spoken widely alongside standard English and Hawaiian. Hula dance, oli chants and the voyaging traditions of Polynesian navigators remain central to Hawaiian culture, and the village's presentation of these traditions gives visitors a direct point of contact with them.
