Waioli Mission House


Wai'oli Mission House is nestled in the historic district of Hanalei on Kauai, Hawaii. Its location is between Lihu'e and Ha'ena. The house is open for tours Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9am to 3pm. The office hours are also the same. The house is closed for tours on major holidays. Admission to the house is free.

Waioli Mission House was built in 1837. It was a missionary home placed in Hanalei Valley and now reflects what life was like 160 years ago. There are plenty of different collections at the house. The original house was restored by Abner Wilco's granddaughter in 1921. There are house furnishings to match the 1830s period. Plants and trees also show Hawaii's traditional horticulture.

Programs such as guided tours can be taken during the week. School tours and other special tours can also be set up. Prior appointments for large groups are necessary otherwise one can visit at anytime during their posted open hours. The grounds also provide a nice walk for those who wish to enjoy both the outside and inside of the house. Though some of the landscape is very flat, it still reflects traditional Hawaii.
