Good stop
Feb 2023
We visited while on the Reverse Road to Hana, and it's a very cool stop, although a little hard to find. The church is open for visitors, thankfully, and it's a lovely cemetery to walk around. Beyond the cemetery is a little park.

Day trip to Hana & directions to Lindbergh's grave
Feb 2023 • Friends
Just visited it yesterday. We drove to Hana along the north shore & continued for 10-11 miles more to the church & graveside. Only a small sign on the left located on the entrance road to the church designates the entrance to the church--- no sign directs to the grave. Drive straight past the church into a small field.. A small stone wall separates that field from the cemetery. Lindbergh''s grave is located in the area at the rear of the small cemetery next to the wide grassy area that separates the graves from the seaside cliff. His friend 's wife , his friend & monkeys are buried about 20 yards directly behind Lindbergh's grave near the rear corner of the church. After our visit we completed our drive to loop the trip around the eastern end of Maui. We drove a medium size 4-5 seat sedan the entire way. Parts of the road were in rough shape and narrow but none of it was impassable

A great and somber place to visit while you are in Maui...
Mar 2022
A very somber but beautiful place to visit while in Maui. Supposably Charles Lindbergh was against the United States entering World War 2, So he moved to the territory of Hawaii.
Not the easiest drive: but if you can take the road to Hana- you should be able to take the drive to the church. You can barely see the church from the road. He is buried in the small cemetery behind it, Lots of beautiful scenery at this location. You are welcome to go inside the church located by the graveyard.

A rather nondescript grave
Mar 2020
Whether you agreed with Lindbergh or not on his views of the world, the man was a force to be reckoned with when alive. I am surprised that his grave is so simple and hidden away.

The grave of Sam Pryor, Lindbergh's friend and fellow aviation pioneer, and his monkeys are nearby.

This place is not marked and no one will really tell you how to get here. I had been here once before about 30 years ago so knew about it. If you google map it you know just what to do. The grave is at a Congregational church on a back one lane road. There is no signage so you have to be prepared before going. There were tour vans here.

Simple grave in a beautiful spot
Feb 2020
The church graveyard is hard to find unless you use Google maps. I did have cell service in this area, so that was possible. It's a simple gravestone, but the setting is awesome.

This is a Twofer tourist stop

For fun, before making the trip to the grave behind the Congregational Church, do a little history research to find why Charles decided this would be his final resting spot. Dig into who his friend was that is also buried here. It is kind of like the rest of the story. Then you will know the backstory about the animals (pets) also buried in the cemetery a bit closer to the church. If a person has the time, spending a few minutes here is worth it. If you are not on a guided tour do a little research first though because there are no brochures or other fact boards, what have you. Definitely check out the pictures attached to the trip advisor info on both the grave and the church. They may help you make up your mind.

IF YOU ARE AN AVIATOR HISTORY FAN, THIS IS A MUST STOP
Oct 2019
Well, I'm sort of a fan. I had read about how Lindbergh in his final years moved to Hawaii for his health and decided to be buried in this cemetary behind Papapala Ho'omau Congregational Church. Admittedly, you have to be real careful to find the road turnoff and then navigate the bumpy road down to the church and cemetary. Before you go, make sure to map this location out and do some research on Lindbergh and his burial site.

After spending some time seeing the small church, we made our way to the cemetary to the side and behind it. It took us a few minutes, but found his burial site and grave marker. It is unassuming from one might expect due to his notoriety. However, it's probably exactly as he wanted it to be. After such a public life, he deserved some quiet and this resting place.

If you are one of those folks who likes to visit cemetaries and browse headstones, this is a place you may want to spend a little time in. Besides, it's serene and a beautiful spot with the ocean nearby. Of course, do this after you pay your respects with Mr. Lindbergh.

when driving at mile marker 41 south of Lahaina, stopping at church, we parked at the church , his grave is on ground there. He's important man in nature science and biology , but his grave is not made as important point.

Nice final resting place
Jun 2019 • Friends
The grave is located in the cemetery adjacent to the Papapala Ho’omau Congegrational Church. Surprised that such a famous person had such an unassuming flat grave marker. But, he sure knew how to pick a beautiful resting place. This was part of our tour stop and of historical interest. But, this is not a place to say I’m going to take a quick drive over to see it. Long scary drive and I wasn’t even doing the driving.
