Kilauea Lighthouse And National Wildlife Refuge

We drove out to the north shore to see the Kilauea Lighthouse. It was so beautiful. Just before we got there we saw this tree and I had to stop right on the road to take a picture because it is so amazingly beautiful!! Look at the colour!!

This lighthouse (Kilauea Lighthouse) is perched at the northernmost tip of Kauai. It is 52 feet high, and was built in 1913 as a beacon for traveling ships. It's light was turned off in the 1970's and was replaced by an automatic beacon but it is still one of the island's most frequented attractions.

I just can't get over how beautiful the ocean was. The deep blue Pacific and the rugged coastline here was just breathtaking!

This is also the location of Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge and sanctuary for seabirds. Blaine and I walked through the Wildlife Refuge and there were signs throughout the trail identifying the area's bird species. It was pretty cool! There were so many birds there!!

Here are some pictures of our time there...























Moon Family... Ha ha! We had to take a picture!


This was cool. All the tiles on the ground say something different.


This little island was covered with birds. You could see them through the binoculars!






We searched for dolphins because they said that you could see them from here. We weren't lucky enough to catch any in our view though!!

We took these 2 pictures through the binoculars that were there!
