On your way from the Airport up to Princeville, the Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge provides a great spot to stretch your legs and birdwatch. There are many types of birds anytime of the year, during the spring you may spots some whales or seals as well! The two story Lighthouse provides a great photo-op, for $5/per person you may... more

This was Beautiful and if you go in the winter you can see whales off the coast. It was really neat. We took alot of pictures of this area. Very beautiful and very relaxing. more

I don't know why anyone would go here...the wildlife you MIGHT see can be seen many other places up close and personal. Try tunnels, ke'e, or hanalei bay for turtles, seals, and whales. They don't allow you to go up into the lighthouse. The views from the bluff pale in comparison so those from the kalalau trail. If you want... more

I had higher hopes for the lighthouse.... not going to lie. Everything sets you up for great opportunities to see seals, turtles, whales, and birds. Now I know quite a bit about wildlife, like the fact that summer is a terrible time to look for whales (wrong season). I also understand that you will be lucky to EVER see an... more

The Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge is worth the stop for sure. Depending on the time of year, you will see various wildlife (for example, you might see whales in the spring). You will definitely see many, many birds no matter what time of year, and the setting of the lighthouse and refuge is beautiful and was some of the... more

Living in Michigan, I have seen many beautiful lighthouses. However, this is one of the most spectacular settings for a lighthouse I have ever seen. The lighthouse sits on a large rock outcrop that overlooks the ocean below. There is a great vantage point above the lighthouse as you are driving in, which puts it all in perspective. The lighthouse... more

We viewed it from afar, because we came too late in the day. (It closes at 4 PM.) We came back the next day and drove onto the property. (They don't allow pedestrians past the gate-only cars.) Someone on this site mentioned that the admission price is exhorbitant. It only cost $5.00 per person! This is one of the most... more

Nice photo op. There was a seal sunning itself on the rocks about 500 ft down. We didn't go in the actual facility because the price they were charging per car was a little ridiculous considering the view was great from the gate. more

we went to Kiluaea lighthouse. I think this attraction was way under-billed for me. I had little expectation other than a good photo op, but Kiluaea point was definitely our highlight of the day and one of the highlights of the trip. As the park ranger excitedly pointed out, the sight is home to red-footed boobies (who borough in to... more
