Champagne Pond and Tidepools

Shorter trip today closer to Hilo. Still had a mile hike into Champagne Pond because it’s inside a gated community. All the beaches are public in Hawaii but sometimes access is hard. Champagne Pond has warm water in it heated from the Volcano. Then we drove north a bit to Kapoho where a lava flow into the ocean made a big area of tide pools. We might come back Wednesday to snorkle. The water was very clear and we could see a lot of fish just looking down.

Posting today’s pictures early because we are going paddle boarding with our Hostess Keala tomorrow morning on Hilo Bay. She has a business taking people out.

  1. Incredible, is all I can say, ok maybe incredibly beautiful. Wish I were on that Cruise Ship that sailed in and out of Hilo. Love you……

  2. Hi, Ginger kept me busy with the ball today. She doesn’t like to quit. I guess I need the exercise. Those tide pools look so nice and such beautiful scenery. Have fun and love you both
