Olivine Tide Pools - Tuesday 5:45am

The Olivine Pools are natural tide pools formed by lava along the ocean’s edge on the back-side of

West Maui. In order to get to the Olivine Pools, you must hike, 20-30 minutes, 0.4 miles, down a

sloped cliff to get to the waters edge. The hike to get down to the Maui Olivine pools is moderately

difficult largely due to jagged and in some places fairly steep lava rock.

 

The tide pools are about 50 minutes North of Lahaina town. Just after mile marker 40 (on Highway 30) is where you will park to start the small hike down to the Olivine Pools. If coming from the South you will see a huge rock on the right hand side of the road and parking will be directly after you pass the rock on the left.
