'Ahihi-Kina'u Natural Area Reserve starts out where you can hike over the lava rocks along the ocean to get to the main hiking/walking trail that winds through trees and you can find little beaches or coves to stop and rest. This part of the trail is about 1/2 mile long maybe a little longer. Once that main trail ends you will enter into the lava field. We walked straight for quite aways and up a hill and kept walking, I began to get overheated as it was hot out and the rocks of course permeate with heat. I was ready to turn around and being quite whiney about it when my husband said "let's just hike up over here", as he head up a trail (vaguely marked with grey rock over the red rock so you could find your way back) he hiked towards the ocean and at the edge found about a 6 foot kind of like hole in the ground with a large tidepool with clear water. We decided to hike down in the hole to take a dip in the tide pool to cool off. What a wonderful experience! In the tidepool there was an opening, what I call natures window and since we were very high up on the cliff we had a view of the ocean below.....see my pictures! I am also going to add a travelogue to my Makena site with additional photos of this area.

  • Directions: Go as far south of Maui as you can go, when you hit the lava flow rocks find the parking lot and start walking.
