Lonely Planet review for Waikoloa Petroglyph Preserve

A lava field, Waikoloa Petroglyph Preserve, etched with impressive petroglyphs, many dating back to the 16th century, is located beside the Kings' Shops. Some are graphic (humans, birds, canoes) and others cryptic (dots, lines). Western influences appear in the form of horses and English initials.

From the King's Shops, a five-minute walk along a signposted path leads to the first of the etchings. Stay on the path to avoid damaging the petroglyphs. The King's Shops offers a free, one-hour petroglyph tour at 10:30 daily.
