Petroglyphs on Lanai
Information about petroglyphs
on the island of Lanai in Hawaii.
Bird Man of Lanai Petroglyphs
The official name of these petroglyphs on
the northeast coast of Lanai is
either the Poaiwa or Puaiwa Petroglyphs
but they are often called the "Bird man of Lanai"
petroglyphs because many of them are pictures
of stick figure with bird-like heads or the
"Shipwreck Beach" petroglyphs because of their
proximity to that beach.
Luahiwa Petroglyphs
These petroglyphs are located in southern Lanai
on the way to the Palawai basin.
They cover a 3 acre area, and most of the petroglyphs
are mostly on the south side of more then 30
rocks and boulders on a hill with a view of
the Palawai Basin. To get here from Lanai
City, drive toward Manele Bay on Highway
400 and turn left at the first dirt road.
Head for the large water tank, and look
for the petroglyphs on the slopes of a hill,
just past the water tank.
