    Million dollar view for $10

    We went to see the views and it was worth every penny. For an entry fee of $10 you can also tour the lighthouse. Good signage identifies some of the birds that are unique to the area and it was fun to watch them fly...More

    Great View

    This is a nice place to visit and has wonderful views of the Kīlauea Point National Wildlife Refuge. The lighthouse itself is small but has a nice charm. I'd recommend visiting if you are able to.

    Although the point is moot as I write this, the park is operated by the Federal Government, so it may well be affected in the event of anothershutdown. The site's phone number is 808-828-1413.
