Maeda Flats

I should title this blog: One of our most favorite days on the island thus far.

We headed out to Maeda Flats this week. This place is well known for it's snorkeling and scuba diving, and I had heard that there were great tide pools to explore... so off we went.

The day was perfectly overcast (a good thing when the temp is 92 degrees and 90 percent humidity). The clouds were rolling in on our drive up and gave us some great sun coverage.

The tide pools were amazing! Some of them were 12 feet deep and full of cracks and crevices. We saw all kinds of fish, crabs and sea cucumbers. It was fantastic!

The other great thing about this area was all of the natural cave like areas that come out when the tide is low. Lots of great exploring!

Crazy brain coral

Brad and A exploring...

The girls took on a big cave to walk through (lots of sharp coral etc). They made it to the middle and then daddy went to help them get through the other side.

Brad - climbing a pretty sharp coral/rock.

Enjoying a swim in the pools

I loved this photo (above), This is Olivia and Brad both back floating in the pool. Olivia is on the left - Brad on the right... Heads, feet and hands is all you can see.

Thumbs up - we will be back again!
