As our stay on Kauai was for several weeks, we had the opportunity to come back to Kilauea Lighthouse after finding it was closed on Monday. A tour group was highly disappointed to find this factoid out too, though, not having the opportunity to revisit.
The best you can do is to take photos by the outer gate, which by all accounts, is pretty awesome. The tour guide may have thought it is better to get this picture than no picture at all. We agree.
The Lighthouse is operated by the Federal government and our senior National Park passes were honored. The views from the lighthouse are spectacular. We caught some nice photos of the waves crashing on the cliffs.
On another visit we saw a Monk Seal below. Whales can be spotted off the coast during winter season. Even though you do not spend much time here, it is a place well worth discovering.
