About Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge

Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1985 to protect migratory seabirds at the northernmost point of the main Hawaiian Islands, with the Daniel K. Inouye Kīlauea Point Lighthouse on its bluff; it opens Wednesday to Saturday and adults need a reservation (US Fish and Wildlife Service).
