7 Labyrinths to Visit in Hawaii and One Large Maze

I am so excited to bring you a list of labyrinths to visit in Hawaii. I have chosen 7 of the best (there are over 30) that are accessible to the public from around the state. Whether you are local or on vacation, a visit and walk of these labyrinths is a great activity. If you want a full list of labyrinths in the state check out the Worldwide Labyrinth Finder.


Before we get to my recommendations for Hawaii I want to tell you about some statistics about labyrinths in the USA from some research I did. If you are interested in knowing things like what the largest labyrinth is in the US, where the Northernmost, Southernmost labyrinths are in the US, and similar questions, it is worth a read: Questions about US Labyrinths Answered. All of these Hawaii answers and statistics were part of that research. We start with a chart summarizing the data from Hawaii:

Hawaii Labyrinth Chart

Here is how Hawaii compares to the rest of the US. Notably, Hawaii ranks 12th in the country for labyrinths per capita and has a high amount of indoor labyrinths, ranking 8th nationally.

Hawaii Labyrinth Questions:

What is the largest labyrinth in Hawaii ? The largest labyrinth in Hawaii is the ‘Awapuhi Labyrinth in Keaau, Hawaii with a 90 foot diameter. This is an 11 circuit Chartres style labyrinth. You will see it below (#4).

What city has the most labyrinths in Hawaii ? Multiple cities in Hawaii have 3 labyrinths: Hawi, Honolulu, Kapaa and Makawao.

Why visit a Labyrinth ?

Labyrinths are ancient and mysterious symbols that have been used for centuries for meditation, contemplation, and spiritual renewal. They are also a lot of fun to explore! If you're looking for a unique and challenging experience, walk a labyrinth with intention - it often leads to self-discovery. Personally, I like to walk labyrinths between dawn and sunrise or at sunset until dusk, but any time of day works. You may not realize it, but there is probably a labyrinth near where you live. Today we explore…

This labyrinth was shaped like a kite until March 2022 when it was redone into a Spiral shape. The labyrinth is off the trail along the river at the address listed below. The labyrinth is 60 yards into the trail on the left side. Originally a tribute to Benjamin Franklin (thus the previous kite shape). I used the wayback machine to learn about the site: “The labyrinth, designed by local artists R.L. Hughey and Debbie McNeil, is created in the shape of a kite to honor Franklin’s namesake, Benjamin Franklin, and his electrical experiments.  In addition to the large meditative walk, the labyrinth features accent pieces and benches of mosaic art work.  The labyrinth was developed in conjunction with the community’s long-term plans to make the River Walk an attraction to visitors, complete with an art walk and garden of native plants.  The goal of the project has been to unify our community through art, increase art appreciation, teach a new art medium, provide passive recreation and showcase the natural resources of Franklin’s River Walk?
