See Birds and Coastal Views
You now have to book your visit in advance and it’s only open Wednesday to Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm.
The Kilauea Lighthouse is located on a rocky peninsula with fantastic views along the coast. It’s a wildlife refuge and you can see many seabirds including the red-footed booby, red-tailed tropicbird, lawson albatross, and great frigatebird.
You can borrow binoculars for free from the information centre and get a close-up view of the birds and even whales in the winter. You can’t go inside the lighthouse—it’s more about enjoying the views and wildlife, although you can read about its history.
Hike the Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail
The Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail is a beautiful and fairly easy coastal trail with gorgeous views of the ocean, red cliffs, green mountains, and even whales.
The hike starts at Shipwreck Beach in Poipu near the Grand Hyatt Resort. You can walk as far as you want before turning back.
We went to Punahoa Point near CJM Country Stables which was about 4 miles return and took about 1.5 hours (we actually walked to and from the trail from Kiahuna Plantation which added an extra 1.5 hours). You could also continue down to the quiet Gillin’s Beach.
See Turtles and Seals on Poipu Beach
We were surprised by how easy it was to see turtles and seals in Hawaii. All we had to do was stroll along Poipu Beach where we saw eight huge green sea turtles as well as three monk seals sleeping in the sand.
They are protected by law so make sure you don’t touch them or get too close.
Hike in Kokeʻe State Park
Kokeʻe State Park is just beyond Waimea Canyon and is known for its hikes and views of the Napali Coast.
We headed straight up Highway 550 to the furthest point, the Pu’u O Kila Lookout. At 8.30am there were only two other cars there, but when we returned at 10 am it was much busier. An early start helps avoid the crowds and the clouds that can roll in.

This scenic viewpoint in Princeville is worth a stop on the way to Hanalei for a lovely view of taro fields and the surrounding mountains. The light is better in the morning, but the growing vegetation makes good photos a little difficult.
