Wildlife Viewing

The park provides the opportunity to spot some of the unique wildlife found in Hawaii. Along the shore, you can watch for green sea turtles and may be lucky enough to spot one basking in the sun.  Coastal birds may be seen feeding along the rocky coastlines, and you may even glimpse our native bat feeding over the water at sunset.

Did You Know?
Did you know that the ki'i (carved wooden images) found throughout the park are carved from the ohia tree? This tree grows in the uplands of Hawai'i and is among the first plants to colonize new lava flows.
