描述
This tide pool is my secret. It's off the beaten path.
We use a jungle/lava rock coastal trail. Each way is 25-35 min. (1/2 mile).
I'll teach you about the pool's ecosystem and the local environment.
- On the hike, sea turtles are a common sight in the ocean.
- The pool fills when waves hit the cliffs, sending water into the air like a blowhole.
- The tide pool's water is crystal clear. You'll be alone because this spot is so unknown. You control how long we stay there.
- The pool has unique snails called "opihi", spaghetti worms, pink algae, seaweed, and cool rocks.
Some info about me: My name is Josh; I'm 32; I moved to Big Island in 2018; I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill (philosophy); I live off-grid.
The hike is composed of jungle, boulder fields, lava fields, & lava hills. The lava is rough & jagged. Some parts of the hike are flat, others more rugged. A few sections require you to ascend/descend a small hill of solid lava rock. There's always a place to put your feet/hands & the lava is stable. In terms of difficulty, some rate the hike as intermediate while others rate it in between intermediate & difficult. Some sections require light scrambling. I don't recommend this hike for anyone with a disability/children under 8. The exact lower age cutoff depends on the child/parent. There's no upper age cutoff or fitness requirement. Many people who are out of shape have succeeded.
The tide pool is formed from a basin of lava. The lava is rough & jagged. While the pool is often full, sometimes it's partially full. Almost always there's an area to submerge yourself. Rarely, the levels are too low or the conditions too rough for swimming (and there's still plenty to explore in the area then).
There are no ticks and very few bugs or mosquitoes.
亮点
- In addition to my teaching, you'll have time to explore/relax privately.
- Elevation gain on the hike offers amazing coastal views.
- The tide pool is like an infinity pool overlooking cliffs. A miracle of nature.
- In the pool: fish, hermit/rock crabs, sea cucumbers, shrimp, snails, shells etc.
- The pool is calm/safe with a deep (4-7 ft.) and shallow (1-4 ft.) area.

重要信息
- Wear hiking shoes, hiking sandals, or athletic shoes for the hike. Hiking shoes are most ideal. If you do wear sandals, closed-toe are most ideal.
- Wear water shoes at the tide pool. Closed-toe shoes are most ideal.
- Wear a bathing suit and bring a towel. There are no bathrooms at the tide pool.
- Many people bring a snorkeling mask or goggles.
- Apply "reef safe" sunscreen before the hike to minimize its contact with the tide pool water. Bug spray is unnecessary because there are no ticks and very few bugs or mosquitoes.
- Some people bring a first aid kit because I don't provide one.
