Overview
Hidden from the crowds, this tide pool is a miracle of nature and a local secret. A jungle/lava rock coastal trail leads you to this unique destination, taking 15-20 minutes each way.
- 🌊 The pool resembles an infinity pool with crystal clear water overlooking cliffs, offering amazing views of the island where sea turtles are commonly sighted in the distance.
- 🐠 Home to an aquarium-like environment, you'll encounter fish, hermit crabs, rock crabs, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, shrimp, snails, spaghetti worms, pink coralline algae, seaweed, shells, and interesting rocks.
- 🛡️ The pool is calm and safe with both deep (3-5 ft.) and shallow (1-3 ft.) areas for swimming or relaxing.
- 🧑🤝🧑 Only your group will participate in this private experience where you'll learn about the pool's ecosystem and the local environment.
- 🌴 You'll also have time to explore and relax privately at the tide pool after your guided experience.
To keep footprints lighter, Tinggly offers instant digital delivery, a never-expiring benefit, and global options.

The hike is comprised of jungle and boulder fields. I don't recommend this hike for anyone with a disability or children under 5. The exact lower age cutoff depends on the child/parent. There's no upper age cutoff or fitness requirement. Please note that the tide pool is very rocky. The boulder fields on the hike and the rocks surrounding the pool are especially slippery during rainy conditions. While the pool it's often fully accessible, sometimes only certain parts are accessible. Almost always there's an area to submerge yourself. Rarely, the levels are too low or the conditions too rough for swimming. If the pool can’t be entered, the guide will take you to explore a nearby area that is magical and beautiful.
There are no ticks and very few mosquitoes.
