The Kailua Village Business Improvement District is offering a free guided walking tour of historic Kailua Village on the Big Island of Hawaii. Visitors are welcome to join along on Wednesdays at 9 a.m. The designated meeting spot is at the banyan tree adjacent to Kailua Pier.
"The village of Kailua has been a place where people have gathered for centuries," said Kailua Village Business Improvement District chair Jay Rubenstein in a news release. "As you walk through Historic Kailua Village, you'll discover for yourself that special feeling that made Kailua so appealing to Hawaiian royalty of yesteryear still exists today."
Palena Keeling, a hula teacher who grew up in the area, will share history as she leads the group to heiau (traditional Hawaiian places of worship), Mokuaikaua Church and Hulihee Palace.
