Lonely Planet review for Mo'okini Heiau

On the northernmost tip of the island, Mo'okini Heiau is one of the oldest and most historically significant temples in Hawaii. Charts date the temple back to AD 480, when human sacrifices were offered to the war god Ku. Because so few people come this way, chances are you'll be alone with the wind and the spirits.

A stone enclosure nearby marks the birth site of Kamehameha the Great.
