- Aloha! One of the best places to stop and take a break when
you are circling the island is Hanauma Bay. This ancient
volcanic caldera teems with sea life thanks to its protected
surroundings. The bay was once the floor of a small volcanic
crater, but it eventually became flooded by the ocean when a portion
of its wall collapsed. Now, it is a heavily used beach by
tourists. However, on this day, the beach was empty because of
an influx of box jellyfish. They usually show up a couple of
days after a full moon and scare the tourists away. Enjoy!
