Olivine Pools trailhead

Hiking area · Maui County

"Sequestered on a quiet stretch of the North-West Maui coast, Olivine Pools are volcanic tide pools best known for their secluded swimming spots and dramatic wave breaks. With very few commercial shops or vendors around, the area still feels like a hidden spot. There's a decently marked half-mile out-and-back trail that meanders through this area and provides some great views and photo ops. If you choose to go for a swim or a float in one of the pools—which you absolutely should—steer clear of ones that have waves crashing into them." - Todd Plummer
