Highlights

This tide pool is my secret. It's off the beaten path. A miracle of nature. We'll use a jungle/lava rock coastal trail. Each way takes 30-40 min (1/2 mile) (10 min. in jungle, 20-30 min. on coast). Only your group will participate. I'll teach you about the pool's ecosystem and the local environment. You'll also have time to explore/relax privately. You control how long we stay at the pool.
- Elevation gain on the hike offers amazing coastal views. Sea turtles are a common sight in the ocean.
- The pool is like an infinity pool overlooking cliffs. The water is crystal clear. You'll be alone because this spot is unknown.
- The pool is like an an aquarium with fish, hermit crabs, rock crabs, sea cucumbers, shrimp, snails, spaghetti worms, pink coralline algae, seaweed, shells, & cool rocks.
- Waves strike the cliffs and shoot water in the air like a blowhole (conditions permitting). A once-in-a-lifetime photo opp.
- The pool is calm/safe with a deep (4-7 ft.) & shallow (1-4 ft.) area.

Itinerary

  • 14-3892 Government Beach Rd

    Some info about me: My name is Josh; I'm 32; I live off-grid; I moved to Big Island in 2018; I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill with a degree in philosophy. The hike is composed of jungle, boulder fields, lava fields, & lava hills. 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. I don't recommend this hike for anyone with a disability/children under 7. 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. While the tide pool is often fully accessible, sometimes only certain parts are accessible. Almost always there's an area to submerge yourself. Rarely, the levels are too low or the conditions too rough for swimming. There are no ticks and very few bugs or mosquitoes.

Additional information

Must Know
Mobile or paper ticket accepted
Good To Know
Service animals allowed
Public transportation options are available nearby
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
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 with durable soles 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.
