Family rescued at Queen’s Bath
HANALEI – A family of three from Milwaukee was rescued yesterday afternoon at
Queen’s Bath in Hanalei.
The parents and their 11-month-old baby were standing on the rocks at approximately
1:24 p.m. when a rogue wave swept them into the pond.
A bystander, who was a U.S. Army solider visiting from O‘ahu, assisted the family with
getting out of the pond and onto safer ground.
The victims were then examined by the responding firefighters from the Hanalei station,
and released at the scene.
