Boiling Pots

Boiling Pots: Whirlpools and Basalt Columns in Hilo's Jungle

4.5 (288)

Don't bother swimming here; the currents are dangerous and unpredictable, even when they look calm. Spend about 30 minutes walking the short paved path to see the water churning over volcanic basalt layers. It feels like a prehistoric cauldron when the river surges after rain. If you want more context, the Majestic Waterfall Tour is a solid way to see this and neighboring spots without driving yourself, but it’s pricey. Just watch your footing.
