Visit charming and historic Kapa'au town on the northern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii

Located in scenic North Kohala on the Big Island of Hawai'i, Kapa'au is a charming small town with unique shops and tasty restaurants. Kapa'au is the biirthplace of legendary King Kamehameha, who united the Hawaiian islands and formally established the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi in 1810. June 11 is the State holiday Kamehameha Day, celebrated by a lei draping of the statue, a grand parade through town and an arts & crafts fair. Be sure and stop for a visit on your way to scenic Pololu Valley, just a few miles up the road.
