Hiking to Papakolea Green Sand Beach - Big Island, Hawaii
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- On our last trip to the Big Island, we were on a mission to see all of the colored sand beaches. One of the most unique ones is the Green Sand Beach. There are only four natural green sand beaches in the world, and Papakolea Green Sand Beach on the Big Island of Hawaii is one of them. This very unique beach is hidden away along the coastline of South Point and is definitely worth the visit.

You have the most detailed information about the hike. Thanks
Thank you so much! We work really hard on giving the most information possible without making it boring! :)
Took us an hour to get there..
Awesome! Thats pretty quick.
Big Sean brought me here
Hi Big Sean!
Is it just me or does it look more brown than anything
It isn't a super vibrant green. More of an olive color.
@@LiveThatAdventure yes, and comes from a mineral signifying the color: Olivine
How much is the truck ride down and what hours do they run?
Unfortunately I am not sure. From what I have heard, they are locals running the shuttle, not a company. Im not sure if the price fluxuates. I believe it was somewhere in the $20 range when we were there.
Is the truck $20 per person one way or RT? Do we need to reserve there or prior?
Hey Leia. It was $20 when we were there a few years back, but that could have changed. It is just something that is run by the locals so the details can change pretty quickly. It is a pretty low key thing and no reservations are needed.
Doesn’t look like you swim on that beach
That hike is brutal
We lucked out on the weather when we went, but if you did it on a humid day we can definitely see it being pretty nasty
This is true because I’m here right now 👏🏽👏🏽. It’s amazing, we had someone drive us in there. You got to go!!
Thats awesome! Enjoy your day there :) Dont forget to stop by the Punaluu Bake Shop! Its so good!
Walking there is a significant part of the adventure! We three did it in 2020, just before the new 2021 year and it was a great experience. The colors were incredible: I was not sure how to color balance my video and stills!
We agree! You have to walk it to appreciate the experience. The coloring was definitely interesting. I would probably just use to white balance that is being created by the sky (sunny/cloudy/etc). Hopefully, if that is correct the sand will be too! :)
Been there, done that.
Headed to that area this July. Just need some advice. Not sure if you've hiked Punalu'u to Kamehame Beach, but I'm torn to hike either Papakolea Beach or the hike to Kamehame Beach as I'm only going to be in that area for a day. Any opinions or advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey Scott! Unfortunately we have not done Kamehame yet. We hope you have an amazing trip though!
if you like hiking great. We paid 20 bucks for the guys to take us there and back. My brother couldnt hike due to his legs but the beach is nice. Tides are high right now but still fun
Hey Scott, I just did some research. I believe Kamehame Beach is a premier nesting area for the endangered turtles. Turtle nesting season is from June to November. Therefore, you might not guaranteed access to Kamehame Beach during this time. And according to the research, it's best to avoid all turtle nesting sites completely during this period and even avoid Kamehame beach in general.
Hopes that help with your decision.
@@travonwalker28 Yes this is another option. Glad you guys got to enjoy it :)
@@LiveThatAdventure Thank you. That helps. Hey, since this will be my first time in Hawaii, will I need to get bug spray when I hike here.
Thanks for this. I was worried about the descent but it doesn’t look too bad.
Hey Alicia! It's not too bad at all. We would recommend wearing shoes with some tread though. Have a great time! 😎🤙
@@LiveThatAdventure Thanks!
FYI: I recently spoke to DHHL’s (Department of Hawaiian Homelands) who is responsible for this property. Spoke with them today (4/28/2022). They told me it's *ILLEGAL* to either DRIVE or WALK/HIKE out to this beach. Was advised people can be fined for trespassing. I had no idea myself because I saw no signs when I was recently out there. Just posting in case any else is thinking about hiking out there. Just posting for information. Not judging....but if anyone doesn't believe me just call DHHL and they'll confirm. Please don't shoot the messenger..... thanks for reading.
Wow! That is pretty wild! Thank you for the information. I wonder when this happened.
@@LiveThatAdventure alot of crap is ILLEGAL in many countries just as in America LMAO we have some of the most stupid laws that are hardly EVER ENFORCED so Im not saying this isn't true but come onnnnn if there's a tourist destination that brings in money to the local population i hardly DOUBT ITS BEING ENFORCED as to y u weren't told about it cuz they want the money that ONE OF THE ONLY GREEN SAND BEACHES ON THE PLANET MUST GENERATE THRU TOURISM
I can't stand people like this always telling others where they're not SUPPOSED to go from their sofas just stfu n live a little
Keep up the great content ADVENTURE LIFE N STAY SAFE N AWESOME
@@LiveThatAdventure The most recent update is here: Another Iconic Beach Threatened | Will Hawaii Take Action?
SEPTEMBER 12, 2022 by BEAT OF HAWAII. But my understanding is that it's about illegal off-road driving, and they cannot enforce it anyway. I do not mind banning vehicle rides there: The cars did damage the path to the Beach a lot.
@@komandagleby_GB Yea it would be cool if it was reserved for hiking only. The thing that might be a problem with that is that some of the locals probably make a living driving the trucks out there so they would probably be pretty mad about it.
Great video - thank you!
Thank you!
Swam with the turtles there. Freaked us out, all of a sudden there was something there and it was big.
That's so funny! I can totally see that happening to us. The creepiest things we have encountered so far are a couple barracuda and I had a nasty run in with a Manowar
This helps immensely! We’re heading that way next week!
That's awesome! We hope you have a fantastic trip!
AWESOME VIDEO, quick question to ask: you said that you hiked 5 miles one way or both ways? 2) i wonder if with a regular compact car is okay to drive up to the parking before starting to follow the trailhead or we need a truck to get to the parking? please advise, thanks a lot
Thank you so much! Glad you liked the video! The hike is 5 miles round trip. You should totally be able to get to the trailhead in a car. :)
@@LiveThatAdventure thanks for your reply, have I done the manta ray evening snorkeling your? And swimming w dolphins? If so, any recommendations what company your to use ?
@@sebastianburd We did the night Manta Ray tour. It was incredible. Im not sure if you can share a link in the comments but we used Big Island Divers ua-cam.com/video/7XO_uj4-X9Y/v-deo.html
Emerald sand is such a. Fuckin win
Indeed it is! :D
