Lonely Planet review

You don't need to be a geology buff to get off on the mammoth Ka'eleku Caverns, formed by ancient lava flows. The caves are so formidable that they once served as a slaughterhouse - 17,000lb of cow bones had to be removed before they were opened to tourists! Winding your way through the extensive underground lava tubes you'll find a unique ecosystem of stalactites and stalagmites.

Most people take about an hour to explore. The admission includes use of flashlights and hard hats. Bring a sweater - it's cool down under.
