Can you Go Inside?
Yes you can! You must take your shoes off, they do provide booties. Be mindful some areas are not accessible. It is also a quarter mile walk from the car to the sanctuary and light house.
The light house is a protective area to many sea birds, monk-seals on the shore below and also is a great view for Humpback Whales during the winter season! It is a beautiful lookout, but please do not cross the protective bird sanctuary areas. You may see many endangered Hawaiian species here. The light house is no longer in active use but is now a landmark to the island!
