Olivine Pools

Trip Stop: 
Narrative: 

Dramatic set of tide pools located on barren lava along the ocean’s edge along “the Top” of the West Maui peninsula. This used to be a popular spot for swimming, but has since been closed due to several drownings. However, they can still be viewed via a short walk from a roadside pullout. We just walked past the warning sign about not swimming to the top of a lava cliff from which we could look down on the thundering waves crashing over the pools.
