Tours in Big Island of Hawaii

Please visit some of our instagram accounts to view more of what you can possibly see. Please note we do not guarantee any sightings or refund for lack of sightings.

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 the 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 (e.g., unique ones called "opihi"), spaghetti worms, pink coralline algae, seaweed, shells, & cool rocks. - The pool fills when waves hit the cliffs, sending water into the air like a blowhole. - The pool is calm/safe with a deep (4-7 ft.) & shallow (1-4 ft.) area.
