Description

Explore the southeastern coast of Moloka'i on horseback or by wagon. Commencing at the 50-acre Mapulehu Mango Grove 15 miles east of Kaunakakai, the guided excursion ambles along a dirt road to Ualapu'e, site of the ancient heiau (sacred temple) Ili'ili'o'pa'e, or the Shrine of Sacrifice. One of Hawaii's biggest platform temples, the 700-year old heiau is 320 feet long and 120 feet wide. Relish the magnificent scenery and sunbathe on the beach, which faces the coral barrier reef. Horseback rides cost $50 per person, wagon excursions cost $35 per person (minimum eight people). If you enjoy camping, you can also rent campsites in the area ($15 per day for two persons without equipment; $25 per day including equipment).
