Last time we were in Maui, we attempted the Olivine Pools, but it rained as soon as we hiked down. We were determined to try it again with better results.
The drive there is one of the prettiest on Maui. We stopped above Honolua Bay to get this shot of Kapalua and the Ritz Carlton.
The snorkeling at Honolua looked perfect this morning.
When we arrived at Mile Marker #42, we parked and hiked down to the pools. It is the most amazing spot...giant pools to swim in with waves crashing only feet away!
The girls wore their suits so they could jump in this time. There were only two other families there...another hidden gem we found from Maui Revealed!
They probably jumped 15 times and loved every minute. There were fish swimming all throughout the pools and coral lining them. Some of them may have been 15-20 feet deep!
The girls dried off, put their hiking stuff back on for the tough hike back up the cliff. Mission accomplished!
We decided to try a new beach for the afternoon. One of Taylor's friends from school was also in Maui and his family was spending their time at D.T. Fleming's Beach in Kapalua.
The waves were crazy big, but Taylor, Allison, Trent and Kylie had fun on boogie boards and playing soccer in the sand for the afternoon.
We stayed until close to dinner time, so we picked up a quick dinner at Cilantro's and searched out Local Boys Shave Ice for our nightly treat. We had heard about this place before but had never been. We each picked a flavor of ice cream for the bottom, shave ice flavors for on top and then finished it off with sweet cream. I got coconut ice cream with Mango, Strawberry and Pina Colada shave ice. It was amazing!!
