This is a very cool place. However, the hike down is not easy and once you get there it is somewhat dangerous as a big wave could easily knock you into the sea (and has done so killing people). So if you go be aware and keep children very close. Laying in the pool with the waves crashing nearby was a wonderful experience.…

This attraction is a must do! You have to hike down to the coast but it’s easier than the nearby Nakalele blowhole. It’s an experience unlike any other I had across the whole island of Maui. You can literally go sit in pools right next to where the waves are ferociously pounding the rocks just feet away. It’s somewhat intimidating because you still need to be safe and every once in a while there’s a much larger wave than there normally is. Be careful where you sit/walk in the pools because there’s areas where it drops off and becomes very deep. This attraction is certainly not for the faint hearted but it should definitely be on your list if you’re feeling adventurous.

We had a great time with the two of us and 3 kids. We saw turtles, went on a snorkel boat, hiked to a water fall,visited Baldwin Beach and Paia, had shaved ice. Saw the Banyon trees in Lahaina. It was great!

We did not walk down all the way to the pools, rather we took pictures of it and the surrounding surf. If you are going by, stop, but it is not something to drive around the island to see. The road to here is narrow and windy. We lost cell phone service a few miles from here. Thankfully google maps still worked, else we would have never found it since there are no posted signs or directions.…
