Loaloa Heiau is located in Kaupo on Maui. This is one of the few remaining intact examples of a large luakini heiau (state level temple where human sacrifice was performed) [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/writeups/66000301.nl.pdf NHL Summary] ] . Once the center of an important cultural complex around Kaupo, oral tradition attributes the construction of the temple at about 1730 AD to Kekaulike, King of Maui, who lived at Kaupo and died in 1736.

Its site number is HASS-50-MA-A28-1. It was excavated in 1931 [ [http://www.nr.nps.gov/Red%20Books/66000301.red.pdf NPS Red book] ]
