It was already 3pm when I arrived at the Kilauea Lighthouse. I stopped just outside the gate where I saw people parked. It was a nice view of the lighthouse and the cliffs from high up. Across the little bay from the lighthouse is actually a bird sanctuary. After taking photos and videos, I drove in through the gate and parked again.
I had missed the last tour inside the lighthouse but I still had 45 minutes before they closed at 4pm, so I paid the $10 entrance fee. I won't say much about the scenery, because I can't do it justice. Unfortunately, I ran out of space in my Insta360 camera, so most were taken from my camera, which isn't shabby, btw. ;)
Around 4pm, I left almost reluctantly.
I was wrong about Banana Joe's. I eventually saw the sign to the left of the Coconut Farm Tour sign. But it said "CLOSED". However, the food stall was open. So I stood in line and asked what lilikoi was. The young lady said she only had lilikoi lemonade and lilikoi popsicles, but I didn't have lunch so I ordered the pitaya (dragonfruit) bowl instead. It was delicious!
Then I headed to a secluded part of Anini Beach, walked around a bit, took pictures, sat on a black volcanic rock, watched the sunset, and went back as it started getting dark.
I packed in the evening. Surprisingly, everything fit back into the same two bags.
