![]() ![]() You won’t ever find yourself in open water here, and I wouldn’t advise snorkelling past the natural lava barrier at the edge of the tidepools as the waves and currents become quite strong – I got sucked right out of a pool in this area! Avoid going when the tides are strong, or if they are stay closer to the shore. We even met a turtle, who was relaxing in one of the pools closer to the open ocean. I had so much fun here – it’s very easy to spend hours exploring them all, finding new coral and sea creatures with every new one you discover. Kapoho is one of the most diverse reefs in Hawaii, and the pools have more variety the further out you go. The Kapoho Tide pools are a vast network of pools all different sizes and depths, some so shallow you’re almost crawling along them and others as large and deep as a house. Kapoho Tide pools (Wai-opae Tide pools Marine Life Conservation District) And just to make it even better, they’re all free with the exception of one, and I promise that this one is just too good to miss. There are also some marine heavyweights to be found snorkelling on the Big Island, too it’s one of the best places in Hawaii to see sea turtles (second to Maui) and has a resident population of manta rays, all of which are open for you to see. The Big Island is home to some of the healthiest coral reefs in Hawaii, largely due to its smaller population and tourist numbers. Within the crystal clear tide pools, coral shelves and sandy bays you’ll see an immeasurable amount of coral and fish beyond anything you’d see on the more popular Oahu. I love everything about snorkelling on Hawaii’s Big Island it’s wild, elemental, and home to unique and pristine spots that will spoil you for choice.
