Located within the Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, the Kīlauea Point Lighthouse, is a historic landmark on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai. Built in 1913, the Kilauea Lighthouse, stands tall on a dramatic promontory on the northernmost point of Kauai overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
Situated on a portion of the former Kīlauea volcanic vent, it offers stunning panoramic ocean views from atop a 180 foot bluff and is a prime spot for birdwatching, spotting whales during the Winter months when they migrate to the warm Hawaiian waters, dolphins, green sea turtles and the endangered Hawaiian Monk Seal.
The area is home to diverse seabirds, including the iconic and endangered Hawaiian Nene Goose, Laysan albatross, frigate birds and red-footed boobies.
The Kilauea Lighthouse and Wildlife Refuge is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. The rugged coastline, with its sheer cliffs and lush greenery, is a sight to behold. The pristine blue waters and the rugged terrain create a mesmerizing backdrop to simply absorb nature’s serenity.
