8 Ways to Experience the Natural Splendors of Kauai, Hawaii

Watch for Whales at Kilauea Lighthouse

Kilauea Lighthouse is one of Kauai’s most popular attractions, situated at the tip of Kilauea Point on the north shore, as part of the Kilauea Point National Refuge. It affords expansive views of the rugged coastline, a seabird sanctuary and a national marine life sanctuary.

Humpbacks are frequently seen during the winter, and you can also watch for the thousands of migratory seabirds that rest, forage and nest here, along with green sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals.

Take an Unforgettable Air Tour

Air tours have been ranked as the number one activity on Kauai for over 30 years, as only about 10% of the island can be seen by car. A fly-over will allow you to truly experience all that this slice of paradise has to offer.

Most tours include nearly all of the island’s highlights, including the amazing Na Pali Coast and its many waterfalls, Waimea Canyon, Kilauea Lighthouse and Hanalei Valley. If you’re here between December and March you may even get a bird’s eye view of the humpback whales breaching too.
