Overview
This experience takes place in the Puna district of Hawai'i island! This beach nestled in the warm coastlines of Puna is unique with its combinations of black and white sand and underbelly of fresh water springs bubbling into the ocean. This experience will guide you through the forest and ocean cliffs as you learn about endemic plants, geology, marine biology, and historical accounts connected to Hāʻena. Once arrived to Hāʻena we will enjoy the cold crystal clear waters and swim across the bay to visit a Punawai spring! :)
