The Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge is located on the most northern point of the Hawaiian islands. It offers scenic views as well as a chance to view seabirds rarely seen from land, like the red-footed booby (ʻā in Hawaiian), great frigate bird ('iwa), and Laysan albatross (mōlī). You can also see the world's rarest goose, the Hawaiian goose (nēnē) here.
Besides the birds, there's an abundance of marine life and native plants growing here. You can spot dolphins and green sea turtles swimming about quite frequently here!
The lighthouse itself has quite a story to tell as well. Guided tours and interpretive programs provide insights into the lighthouse’s history, the refuge’s significance, and the importance of conservation efforts in Hawaii.
