Kaupo Bay Tours and Activities

This is a very hard place to find if you do not know where to turn off the hike. To find this you'll need to hike Makapu'u Lighthouse, but will need to take a turn off the trail and down a cliff. This could be dangerous, so make sure that you go with someone experienced and to check the tide. If the tide is high, DO NOT GO because the waves will break into the tide pools and possibly sweep you in the ocean. The view is beautiful and you see many fish swimming in the tide pools.

These tide pools were awesome! Walking on the rocks was tough barefoot, but it was so cool seeing all the little crabs scuttling around whenever the water came in!

The location was great. It was out of the hustle and bustle but still close enough to be a fairly short drive to main attractions of the island. The room was a little dated and showed a lot of wear. The bed was super comfortable but the roosters crowing 2 hours before daylight was off-putting. Also, the neighbors smoking pot outside our window and filling our room with smoke was a bit much. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
