A cruise ship lies anchored in the distance. It is dangerous to add diacritical marks to heiau names, since that limits possible interpretations. However, here is one guess: "Rainfishhealth Heiau."

Unfortunately it suffered major damage in a large earthquake a year or so after this image was made. -
