Hope you have a lovely cruise. For real Tiki as in Hawaiian Heiau Images Kailua Kona is a great place. Ahu'ena Heiau (King Kamehameha's main temple) complete with recreated Tiki's is in front of the King Kamehameha Hotel right beside the pier. A little further along Ali'i Drive you run into the Place of Refuge where there are restored Tiki's in the heiau there as well as a wealth of Hawaiian culture. Well worth the visit. Up from Kona towards Waimea on the Queen Ka'ahumanu Highway theres a large heiau still standing. Look for the Highway signs. In Honolulu you have to travel out to Waianae for a Hawaiian Burial ground or up to the Aiea State Park for a heiau and a 4 mile loop trail through the Koolau mountains. Very nice hike.

Hope this helps,
