Oahu Hiking - Hike & Swim at Pele's Chair

This dramatic rock formation that looks like a chair from some angles is believed by native Hawaiians to be the one of the last places where “Madame Pele”, godess of fire and volcanoes, left Oahu to continue her search for what is now believed to be her home on the Big Island.

This rock grabs your attention from the highway and as you hike towards it, it has a magnetic pull on your attention. I find myself having a difficult time not looking at it constantly. When you get up close, it has an eerie, spiritual feel to it. One time we were there and a woman was mediating on the rock.
