There is a hike from the parking lot at Holoholokai Beach Park to the glyphs. Wear good shoes like sneakers not slippers because there are rocks and thorns.
They are wonderful. Take water.

++1 to a helicopter ride. One of the most memorable experiences I've ever had was a couple of hour tour around the entire island by helicopter.
