Sunrise Swim in Ahalanui Hot Pond
Pāhoa, Hawaii
Description
Added by Michelle Hiatt
This spot provides a stunning view of the sunrise while also allowing you to lazily float around in what feels like a giant warm bathtub surrounded by bright little yellow fish swimming around your feet. You can either enjoy a relaxing morning or use the pool as a refreshing morning workout!
This scenic and surreal little spot is easily accessible off one of the government roads not far from the little town of Pahoa. There is close by parking, although you want to get here early or else the parking will be filled up, and it's an easy walk from the parking lot down to the pond. The pond itself is essentially a massive swimming pool but the ground is uneven and rocky, so water shoes or flippers are a must. There are quite a few smaller fish in the pond, not like the bigger fish of the surrounding snorkeling spots, but still worth bringing your goggles and a snorkel! I would suggest visiting this spot at sunrise, because it is honestly the most beautiful spot to watch the sun rise over the ocean and the weather plus the warm, naturally heated, pool is utterly perfect. I highly recommend you make this spot a priority on your trip around the Big Island of Hawaii!
