Kukaniloko Birthstone State Monument

  • Address: Kamehameha Hwy. and Whitmore Ave., north side of Wahiawa town, Wahiawa, HI | Map It

Fodor's Review:

In the cool uplands of Wahiawa is haunting Kukaniloko, where noble chieftesses went to give birth to high-ranking children. One of the most significant cultural sites on the island, the lava-rock stones here were believed to possess the power to ease the labor pains of childbirth. The site is marked by approximately 180 stones covering about a half-acre. It's about a 40 to 45 minute drive from Waikiki.
