OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
A hot and dusty trek from the highway leads
to the palm fringed, turquoise waters of
Kiholo Bay. The hike continues along a
pebbly black sand beach and passes a couple
of notable beach houses on its way to a cold
freshwater pond set in a raw, black lava
field. The it backtracks to an enchanting
blue lagoon, filled with turtles......... |
