Olivine Pools
Natural lava pools created at the edge of the ocean with calm waters and dramatic scenery entice travelers to take a short break. The water will feel like a natural hot tub. Bring sturdy shoes!
The path from the road is short but dangerous and unwalkable in flip-flops. If the waves reach over the rock wall to the pools, do not enter them, it is life threatening.
If you want to take a dip in the water at Olivine Pools, do so only if there are no big waves crashing against the edge of the pools.
In these cases, the waves can injure you or even carry you out to open water, which is dangerous due to the very strong currents.
How to get there
Olivine Pools is located on Maui's remote northwest coast and is accessible via Route 340.
There is a small free parking lot near the pool, from which a trail leads about 300 yards to the sea.
