How Crowded Is Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site in July?

July runs about 0.9× Puʻukoholā Heiau National Historic Site's average month, which makes it an average month here — roughly 8% of the park's yearly visitors come in July.

In a typical July the park sees roughly 7,300 recreation visits, based on National Park Service monthly counts from 1979 to 2025.

On our Best Time to Visit score July rates 68/100 ("Good"), versus the top-rated September at 77/100 — pleasant weather with noticeably thinner crowds (shoulder season).

Typical July weather, from 1991–2020 NOAA climate normals at the nearest station, averages a daytime high near 88°F and an overnight low around 75°F, with about 0.2" of precipitation.

That average of about 81°F is warm enough that midday heat is worth planning around.

July falls inside the park's busiest stretch: June, July and August together pull about 23% of the year's visitors, so a visit this month means sharing the park with the peak-season crowd.

You'll have about 13.1 hours of daylight in July to explore — near the year-round maximum.

Park-wide, 2024 drew 27,507 recreation visits, up 18.6% from 23,197 in 2023.

Across the past decade overall visitation has eased about 66%, so July may feel a touch quieter than it once did.
