Q&A

Q: Is there a weight limit for the hike to the tide pools?

A: There isn't a strict weight limit, but the trail can be a bit steep and rocky in spots. It's more about comfort than weight. Just make sure you're steady on your feet and wear good shoes. If you’re unsure, you can always reach out to the guide before booking!

Q: What should I wear for this hike? Is it slippery?

A: Wear sturdy hiking shoes, preferably water-resistant ones, since it can get muddy. A swimsuit is definitely a good idea since you'll want to jump in the tide pool! Also, bring a light jacket because it can get a bit breezy up on the cliffs.

Q: Can I bring kids? What age is this good for?

A: Yes, kids can definitely join! It’s suitable for ages 6 and up, but you know your kids best. Just keep in mind the trail has some rocky areas, so be prepared to help them along. They’ll love exploring the tide pool!

Amazing Secret Tide Pool Hike! Must-Do on the Big Island

Just got back from the Secret Tide Pool Hike, and wow, it was breathtaking! The hike is only about 20 mins each way, but it felt like an adventure. The tide pool is stunning—like a natural infinity pool with the clearest water. We saw sea turtles in the distance and tons of cool sea life in the pool. Perfect for a family outing! Highly recommend it for anyone visiting the Big Island!

Thinking of gifting the Secret Tide Pool Hike!

I really want to gift this experience to my brother and his family. They love nature, but I’m kinda worried about how deep the water is. Are younger kids safe in there? I want it to be fun and safe for them.
