Mokuaeae Island

Moku'ae'ae Island is a speck of land just offshore near the Kilauea Lighthouse in North Kauai. Many birds like the Laysan albatross, the red and white-tailed tropic bird, and the great frigate visit the island as well as the Hawaiian Monk Seal. The island is easily visible from the Lighthouse lookout.

As you continue to drive north past Kapa'a on Highway 56, you'll pass through the town of Anahola around mile marker 13. Continue north along the Kuhio Highway (Hwy 56) until you come to Kolo Road shortly after mile marker 23.

The road will be on your right. After you have turned onto Kolo Road you are going to want to take Kilauea Road makai (towards the ocean) to Kilauea Lighthouse and the national wildlife refuge that has been set up there.

Location: Mokuaeae Island is located in the North Kauai
