About
Historic Kailua Village Walking Tour, meets at the Kailua Pier, Ali’i Drive, ☎ (808) 938-8825, [10]. Reservations are required 48 hours in advance. Once a small Hawaiian fishing village, Kailua grew to become the political, social, and commercial center of Kona in the 19th century. When King Kamehameha I chose Kailua to be his final home, Kailua became the capital of Hawai`i for many years. Historic structures such as Hulihe`e Palace, Moku`aikaua Church, and St. Michael’s Catholic Church indicate Kailua’s importance as a favorite royal residence and center for early missionary activity. The 90-min Historic Kailua Village[11] walking tour is operated by the Kona Historical Society.
