Summary edit

Description

From our tour of the Kauai based wildlife refuge. Such a treat, even tho' it was closed the day we were there.

Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1985 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is marked by its towering lighthouse. The ocean cliffs and tall grassy slopes of a dormant volcano provide a protective breeding ground for many Hawaiian seabirds.


It is also one of the few locations where you can observe the:

    • (Red-footed booby),
    • Mōlī (Laysan albatross),
    • ‘Ua ‘u kani (Wedge-tailed shearwater) amongst other Kaua‘i wildlife in their natural habitat.

The coastal front also provides a safe haven for the endangered

    • ‘Ilio-holo-i-ka-uaua (Hawaiian monk seal),
    • Honu (Green sea turtle), and
    • Koholā (Humpback whale).
