For hundreds of years, Hawaiians have used the ancient Kula Kai Caverns to collect water or take shelter from storms on long journeys. Today, these ancient lava tubes are a fascinating journey on their own. Here, 20 miles of subterranean passages tell fascinating stories of geology, archaeology and history. Take a tour – you can bring the whole family on the easygoing Lighted Trail Tour. Or for the more adventurous, put on a helmet, lights and knee-pads, and go on “The Crawl,” where visitors squeeze through some unforgettable compact passageways… It’s not for the claustrophobic!
