What first drew me to this place was that fact it’s been a family business for the last 60 years! That in itself is very impressive to me because it shows such unsurpassed family devotion, unity and loyalty that you just don’t see too much of on the mainland.

Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge & Lighthouse
Be careful when you enter here, as losing track of time happens instantly. Once you start gazing at the plethora of birds you get pulled into their world and become free as they are. No pesky gravity keeping you on the ground. Just flying and floating as they do all day. No wonder the […]
Ninini Point Lighthouse

Right away I noticed shiny red vinyl seats inside and eagerly anticipated my very first visit once construction was finally done. After all […]
