Anapala Chasm
Anapala
A hidden, narrow chasm near Hakupu. Descend 155 steps to a freshwater pool at the bottom, once a water source for villagers.
Anapala Chasm lies near Hakupu village in the southeast. From the road, it's about a 15-minute walk along a forest path, followed by 155 steep steps down to the bottom of the chasm. It's a deep, narrow fissure in the rock, and at its base collects cool water, a mix of freshwater and seawater. In the past, this was an important water source for local villagers. Swimming is possible, but it's dim and quiet down there. The steps are slippery, so take care.
