5/10/2023 0 Comments Tidal pools makapuus![]() Makapuu Lookout to Alan Davis is not a conventional route, and there are several shorter and safer routes to access Makapuu Crag, Makapuu Lighthouse, the Makapuu Tidepools, Pele’s Chair and Alan Davis. … We stopped just before Pele’s Chair to have a few beers in the last couple hours of sunlight and do some fishing.Īfter an hour or so of catching several reef fish, You should round the corner towards Alan Davis after a 2-3 hours of hiking, however if you stop at all the tidepools to relax and swim, you will obviously take longer. ![]() However, they may receive sunlight for a longer period of time. There are more pools down the coastline, but they are not as deep as the one mentioned prior… Ideally, you should always be attentive to never turn your back to the ocean when near the shoreline… In addition to unstable footing, crashing waves can easily knock you down on the slipper rocks and potentially pull you into the churning ocean. Ideally if swimming here, you should do so in the morning… once the sun passes overhead, this area is far too cold to be wet.Īnother danger you should be attentive to are high tides and ocean swells / surf. There are several large pools along the shore, some of which are almost too unreal to believe! The coastline here has amazing rock features which can easily distract eyes… however, you should be mind your footing because the ground here is made or either loose rock or slippery rocks. Looking back on Makapuu Tidepools (above). It’s not difficult, though be cautious as many of the rocks are loose and the ground is considerably uneven.įrom the tidepools you walk “south” around the shoreline to Alan Davis or “ Pele’s Chair.” ![]() … then descends to Makapuu Lighthouse lookout,įrom there you will travel the paved road back down for about 5-10 minutes until you reach this informative sign about humpback whales,Īnd then take the “most defined” path down to the Makapuu Tidepools. Within 20 minutes or so, the trail summits at some pillboxes / bunkers… The particular combination of trails starts at Makapuu lookout (same place where you would park for Makapuu Crag to rock climb). The route we (Reanne Solomon, Larry Tang, Rylan Miyasato, Troy Takara and I) took today is not conventional by any means, though I’m sure some people have connected these trails before. “ Makapuu lookout to Alan Davis” is a great hike, or any hike that involves the Kaiwi coastline for that matter.
