Kilauea Lighthouse

One afternoon in Kauai, we took a trip over to Kilauea Lighthouse and wildlife preserve. It was just down the road from our condo and well worth the visit! As we approached it, I realized our son has never been to a lighthouse and so we had to change that. Growing up on the East Coast and spending summers down the shore, I have many memories of visiting various lighthouses such as Barneget and Cape May Lighthouses. You may notice that the lighthouse is not very tall. I suppose it doesn't need to be when it is on such a high cliff!

It was a beautiful area with a tremendous view. Since it is a wildlife preserve, there were tons of beautiful birds, including albatross. Here are some more pics of the area around the lighthouse and preserve...

On the same afternoon trip, we drove over to see Wailua Falls. You can't go to Hawaii without seeing waterfalls! The lookout was, well, very high up with warning signs along that way telling of the "severe drop off." No kidding! They were worth it though and we enjoyed just watching the mesmerizing water.
