Kilauea is also famous for its Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge, which is famous for its albatross and web footed booby nests, and the nearby beaches of Kalihiwai, and snorkeling reef and windsurfing beach called Anini.
The visitor center has a
store and snack bar. The drive through the orchards provides a
wonderful
vista of a forest of guava with beautiful mountains as a backdrop.
If you are
fortunate
to witness the harvest, you will see that hand labor is necessary, in
order
to pick only the appropriate fruit that is ready for harvest. You can
also
notice that these guava trees are specially pruned to manage the
fruiting
seasons and to make the picking manageable.
