where the wild things are

where the wild things are

A high rocky point on the north shore hosts the National Park Service's Kilauea Lighthouse. It's a superb viewpoint and adjacent to a seabird sanctuary. So there's a continuous spectacle of exotic birds overhead and even at eye level as they catch the updraft off the cliff. Tropic birds can hang motionless or even fly backward in a mating dance. Further offshore, pods of whales are a common sight in winter. We've even seen large sea turtles swimming in the surf far below. There's a guided nature hike through the bird sanctuary. The park staff are on hand to lend you binoculars or answer your questions. Back on the main road, stop at Banana Joe's for fruit or a smoothie. There's a guava plantation close by too.
