Located in Princeville off the major road and turning right on Punahele Road. Keep going straight for a short ways until you see the sign “Queens Bath.” There are but 10 parking spots.
If you decide to park in the street you may get a fifty dollar fine and a booted wheel. It was posted twice. At 8:30 AM, there was but four spaces left.
The trail down can be muddy. My wife fell down on her backside the first time we took the trail in 2012.
The trail also has plenty of roots, so take your time. In parts, it can get narrow. If you have claustrophobia regarding narrow trails, this place is not for you.
Before you reach the lava, there is a small but pretty waterfall.
At times in the summer, people do like to swim in the pools when the water is calmer.
Life-guard “rescue tubes” are close by just in case. The ocean can get rough and people have died here.
As you will soon see, this area was where lava poured into the sea causing several interesting formations.
Also, it is a great area to look down the coast to see “Bali Hai.”
