This special place called Ka‘upulehu, once believed to be named Ka`ulupulehu,
roasted breadfruit, is based on a legend of two sisters,
Kolomu'o and Pahinahina, who was visited by Pele while roasting their breadfruit. Stories such as these help define the history of these lands.
At the Ka‘upulehu Cultural Center, located below the Four Seasons lobby, the legacy of this place and the culture of Hawai‘i is celebrated with programs designed to educate families:
- Lei making

- Canoe paddling
- Hawaiian language
- Hawaiian arts and crafts
