As we exited the Al Mauka Makai Trail and turned north, we began this coastal trail which runs north and south for 175 miles (although not continuous). Within a quarter mile we could see seven large green sea turtles in the tide pools. The turtles were either sleeping on land, resting in the water or were swimming. Since it was low tide, a could see black sea urchins (Photo#8) and some butterfly fish and angelfish that were caught in the tide pools. We decided to hang out next to these turtles for a while instead of hiking farther of the hiking trail to the large ‘Aimakapa Fishpond. We really enjoyed our up-close encounters with these wonderful creatures.
