This trail leads to a protected albatross bird sanctuary at the very outermost West Point of the island. Only accessible by walking, the area provides habitat for native seabirds and plants. You may also be able to spot Hawaiian monk seals in tide pools, and humpback whales during their breeding season. The trail length is 5.6 miles roundtrip. No shade! so bring plenty of water!
