Secret Tide Pool Hike - Jungle & Coast - Private
+38 photos
This tide pool is a local 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 minutes in jungle, 20-30 minutes 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.
- Elevation gain on the hike offers amazing coastal views. Sea turtles are a common sight in the distance.
- The pool is like an infinity pool overlooking cliffs. The water is crystal clear. It's highly likely you'll be alone because this spot is so unknown.
- The pool is like an an aquarium with fish, hermit/rock crabs, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, shrimp, snails, spaghetti worms, pink coralline algae, seaweed, shells, & cool rocks.
- Waves strike cliffs & 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.

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 wear sandals, closed-toe are most ideal.. Wear water shoes at the tide pool. Closed-toe shoes with durable soles are most ideal. I don't recommend flip flops.. 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 (I don't carry one).
