Malae Heiau, near the mouth of the Wailua River, is a luakini heiau.

— April 12, 2024

It is the largest heiau remaining on the Island of Kauai and one of the largest surviving temple platforms in the Hawaiian Islands.

Oral tradition attributes the construction of the heiau to the Menehune and archeological records indicate that it was built before 1200 AD.

The heiau covers almost two acres and the original walls were 8-10 feet high and 8 feet wide with a ledge running around the inside for seating.

Malae Heiau was altered in the 1830s when Deborah (Kekaiha'ak'lou) Kapule, who at one time was married to Kaumuali'i the last independent ali'i 'ai moku of Kauai, tore down the interior walls of the heiau and used it as a cattle pen.

In later years the surrounding field was bulldozed up to the outer walls of the temple platform and planted with cane.

The Wailua Complex of Heiaus, serve as a testament to the impressive degree of religious, economic, and political power that early Hawaiians developed on Kauai as well as other Hawaiian islands.

The complex played a large role in the evolution of Hawaiian culture and tradition on the island.

Each of the sites holds a unique legendary association and an important historical connection to the heritage of native Hawaiians.

Luakini

In ancient Hawaii, a luakini temple, or luakini heiau, was a Native Hawaiian sacred place where human and animal blood sacrifices were offered.

In Hawaiian tradition, luakini heiau were first established by Paʻao, a legendary priest credited with establishing many of the rites and symbols typical of the stratified high chieftainships of the immediate pre-European-contact period.
