The Seven Sacred Pools (also called the Pools of O'heo) are located past Hana on the eastern coast of Maui. There aren't just seven pools, but quite a few more. The area is part of Haleakala National Park. There is a visitor center and several marked trails maintained by the National Park Service.
Swimming in the Pools
Follow the Kuloa Point Trail from the visitor center near the coast to the series of pools and waterfalls. Swimming in the pools is at your own risk and there are no lifeguards on duty. During heavy rains, the National Park Service closes off the area to prevent any injuries from flash floods.
What to Bring
Since there is no food available in the park, it's a good idea to pack a picnic lunch which you can enjoy after a swim in the pools. Hana Ranch, which you'll pass on your way through Hana, has a great take-out menu.
