In 1985, Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge was established to preserve and enhance seabird nesting colonies after the property was transferred from the the U.S. Coast Guard. In 1988, the refuge was expanded to include Crater Hill and Mōkōlea Point.
The reserve is located at the same place as the lighthouse at the end of Kilauea Road.
Migratory birds such as the kōlea (Pacific golden plover), seabirds such as the moli (Laysan albatross), and nēnē, Hawai‘i's State bird are some of the wildlife that use this refuge. Koholā (humpback whales), ‘ilio holo i ka uaua (Hawaiian monk seals), and nai‘a (Hawaiian spinner dolphins) can also be observed here.
