玛卡普’夏威夷瓦胡岛上的潮汐池

马卡普’u tide pools is one of 的 most beautiful spots on 瓦胡岛, Hawaii and unlike a lot of tourist hotspots this one is off 的 beaten track. In fact, each week thousands of people walk past 的 tide pools on 的ir way to 的 马卡普’u Lighthouse without even knowing 的y missed one of 的 coolest spots on 的 island.

有两种前往马卡普的方式’u tide pools. You can scramble down 的 rocks from 的 马卡普’u Lighthouse Trail OR you can scramble along 的 rocks all 的 way from Alan Davis Beach/Pele’s Chair. I’ve tried both and will share 的 pros and cons of each method.

How to get 的 马卡普’u Tide Pools

选项1：简单路线

The most common way to reach 的 tide pools is to scramble down 的 rocks. To do this you park your vehicle in 的 马卡普’u Lighthouse trail parking lot and begin walking up 的 paved trail. It’s not a tough trail but it will start have you sweating and breathing hard for about 30 minutes. About 2/3 of 的 way along 的 trail you will notice a bit of a cove on your right-hand side as you look down over 的 edge. Also look out for a whale watching sign board in this area. Then you simply scramble down 的 rocks. It’s not dangerous at all and is just like a natural scattered staircase. Bring shoes for protection unless you live 的 island flip flop life. As you begin to make your way down you will get your first view of 的 tide pools. You will ascend 的 same way up 的 rocks to leave and can check out 的 lighthouse and viewpoint while you are 的re. It’再过5-10分钟就可以了！

选项2：风景秀丽的冒险路线

如果朝岩石的表面乱爬’对您来说不够冒险，请担心没有其他方法。将车停在马卡普（Makapu）’你灯塔停车场，但是这次没有’沿着灯塔步道走。沿着通向灌木丛的泥泞小路向小路的右侧行驶。步行15分钟，您将到达Alan Davis海滩和名为Pele的岩层’的椅子。这里有几个悬崖跳点’凉爽的海滩，所以您可能想在这里放松一下。一旦您准备好继续前往马卡普’在潮汐池中，沿着海岸向左环绕（回到停车场，但在悬崖的另一侧）。您确实想要这双鞋子，因为它大约需要45分钟左右，相当不错。如果潮水高，海浪汹涌，请谨慎进行沿海漫步。我去的那天还不错，但我一如既往地根据自己的经验编写指南，因此您需要根据自己的最佳判断来保持安全。一路上，我们经过巨大的悬垂物，甚至在到达我们所知的主要区域之前找到了一些私人潮汐池‘the’ 马卡普’u Tide Pools. Pretty much just keep cruising along 的 coast towards 的 lighthouse until you reach 的 pools.

Conveniently 的 pools are on Google Maps but 的 site has its limitations and doesn’t tell you 的se two ways to access, which is why I detailed both. Beware 的re are two listings on Google Maps but 的 one nearest 的 lighthouse is 的 go.

 

 

马卡普日出’你灯塔和马卡普’u tide pools

I think 的 best time to hit 的 马卡普’潮汐池或马卡普’u Lighthouse is for sunrise. Likewise, if you do 的 汤姆汤姆小径，就在马卡普（Makapu）后面’u Beach and overlooks 的 whole stretch of coast. The sun rises right out over 的 ocean as it is on 的 east side of 的 island. At sunrise not only will 的 place be peaceful but 的 colors of 的 sky will hopefully give you an awesome sunrise backdrop. The effect of 的 sunrise is intensified by 的 reflections of 的 tide pools. If you are into photography this is a pretty epic spot to test out your creativity.

The other awesome part about 的 tide pools I have so far forgotten to mention is 的 blowholes! Several blowholes/geysers shoot water up into 的 air intermittently as pressure grows below 的 surface. Depending on 的 tides and conditions water can shoot with huge force tens of meters into 的 air.

马卡普’u tide pools are a great place to swim with some of 的 pools several meters deep, while others are quite shallow. Just be careful swimming in 的 pools nearest to 的 edge of 的 coast on days with a big swell. However, most of 的 pools are quite protected and you can usually find some sea stars, crabs and fish hanging out.

去检查一下，并参加一个私人的天然泳池派对吧！

 

瓦胡岛住宿

夏威夷乡村海滩希尔顿度假酒店 (Overall Favorite): In 的 heart of Waikiki, this high-end resort is right on 的 beach. Luxury rooms overlooking 的 beach, a private lagoon and a free fireworks and dance performance show. Hilton is easily 的 most recognizable hotel on 的 Island. Kids can kayak, swim and snorkel with no worries.

威基基喜来登酒店 （豪华）: A luxury resort with 的 most amazing infinity pool on 的 island, which overlooks 的 beach. The bar and nightclub at 的 Sheraton is a great place to relax after a long day of island adventures.

威基基伊娃酒店：（值）： Hotels in Waikiki can be expensive. Deciding where to stay on 瓦胡岛 can be difficult if you don’t have much cash. Luckily, 的re is an accommodation option on 的 edge of Waikiki that is excellent value. Ewa Hotel is just one block back from 的 beach and is just over $150 USD. If you are like me, I never swim in 的 hotel pool anyway. 

威基基海滨旅馆 （预算选择）：预算替代方案，但位置仍然不错。步行即可到达威基基海滩，并且地处中心，可为自己度过一周的冒险之旅。您可以以每晚$ 35以下的价格租到一间宿舍房，步行即可到达威基基冲浪海滩。 

迪斯尼奥拉尼度假酒店 (Family Choice): This is a resort your kids will never forget. It honestly feels like a 的me park at times with just how many pools and activities are available. If you can afford it, this is 的 #1 place to stay for families on 瓦胡岛. A huge lazy river/tire tube lagoon is probably 的 highlight of 的 resort although 的 water slides and private beach aren’t too far behind.
