"Sandwich Islands View of the Morai of the King, at Kayakakoua on the Island of Owhyhi" is a notable illustration by the French artist Jacques Etienne Victor Arago, created during the early 19th century. Arago, who was an artist and explorer, documented his experiences and observations through his artwork while accompanying the Freycinet expedition around the world from 1817 to 1820. This particular illustration is significant for its depiction of the Hawaiian Islands, known at the time as the Sandwich Islands, and specifically for its portrayal of a traditional Hawaiian heiau (temple) at Kealakekua Bay on the island of Hawaii, referred to as "Kayakakoua" by Arago.

The illustration is part of a larger body of work that Arago produced as a result of his travels, which provides valuable historical and ethnographic insights into the cultures and places he encountered. His works are particularly important for their visual representation of the indigenous peoples and their customs, as well as the landscapes of the regions he visited before the widespread influence of Western culture.

"Sandwich Islands View of the Morai of the King, at Kayakakoua on the Island of Owhyhi" captures a moment in time and offers a glimpse into the religious and social practices of the Native Hawaiians prior to the significant changes that would occur in the following decades due to increased foreign contact and eventual annexation by the United States. The illustration is not only a piece of artistic expression but also a document of historical significance, reflecting the early encounters between European explorers and the Pacific Island cultures.
