Reviews of Papakōlea BeachGreen sand beach
"Spend the $20 for the ride!!! It was a good part of the adventure, views from the back of the truck were awesome and our local driver was very pleasant and entertaining. If you are going to hike, make sure you have good shoes and lots of water. We saw many people that didn't and I'm sure that took away a lot of the enjoyment. The beach itself was very unique, and we lucked out with a bonus monk seal. It was very windy and the water was too rough to enter the day we went."
"Beautiful beach, well worth the hike. We hiked there but paid for the ride back which was well worth it also. The hike was do-able but hard, long, hot, and rough. After swimming we opted for riding back, and saw whales breaching on our way back. The beach itself is amazing. The sand is like crushed green emeralds, so sparkly, so gorgeous. Never seen anything like it before. The water was so blue, and the green sand extends into the bay. Waves were strong, I would not suggest trying to swim very far out."
"This was such a beautiful beach and experience. There was a Hawaiin Monk seal while I was there so I got to see 2 special things at once. If you can’t hike the 3 miles may I suggest paying the $20 to get a ride with Don. He is incredible, funny and so professional."
"We went on a windy day so the water was pretty rough. It's a beautiful area with beautiful views as you hike there. Both times we've been we hiked in and got a ride back with the locals. The truck ride back is an experience in itself. The sand was more green this time than it was the first time we went. Really cool to be able to see one of 4 green sand beaches in the world. Pictures don't do it justice. I think if I was to go again I'd take the truck in and out. It only saved us $5 (even though that's not why we chose to walk in). The trucks used to drive far from the coast so you couldn't see the beauty of the ocean against the lava rock but they were pretty close this time and you had a great view the whole time"
"The beach is beautiful, the ride out to the beach is half the fun!! You can only access the beach by hiking or 4x4 vehicle. Unless you are skilled in rugged off road driving, I would not suggest going yourself. You can hitch a ride with a local for 20 per person, which was a lot of fun!! It is also very close to the Southern most point of the United States. The whole experience took us about 2hrs, then we had enough time to catch the sunset at the south point."
