Today we ended up back at the Kīlauea Lighthouse. We had stopped by there on Mondays, but they aren’t open on Mondays so we didn’t get out to the lighthouse itself. But today we made it out. Normally it’s $5/person to go out there, but with President’s Day weekend we got in free, yay!
The lighthouse point is like a bird refuge, with lots of Hawaiian birds flying around. They seem to love to soar over your head, gliding on the breeze.
It’s also a great place to look out over the ocean and try to catch site of the whales. We were lucky to see some whale action, although they were far enough out that it was hard to see much. We mainly saw them spouting. It’s still pretty cool any way! We might have missed a whale breaching as we were leaving. We heard a large splashing sound and saw people kind of making a fuss about whatever that splashing sound was, but we didn't see anything so who actually knows!
