Islands Within Islands

Located on the eastern tip of the Big Island of Hawaii, the Kapoho Tidepools are a natural wonder teeming with marine life and vibrant coral reefs. Visitors to this picturesque spot can snorkel in clear waters surrounded by colorful fish, sea turtles, and other fascinating creatures. The tidepools offer a serene environment for exploration and appreciation of Hawaii's unique ecosystem. It is essential for all visitors to respect the delicate balance of this natural habitat by avoiding stepping on coral or disturbing the marine life.

The 2018 Kilauea eruption in Kapoho changed the landscape, highlighting nature's power. Matt Gragg's photos preserve the community's memory and advocate for conservation efforts amidst devastation.
