A
Ka'eleku Caverns
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.

Wai'anapanapa State Park
Wai'anapanapa means 'glistening waters', and the clear mineral waters in the cave pools here will leave you feeling squeaky clean. There's a natural lava arch on the right side of Pailoa Bay, bordered by low rocky cliffs and a coastal trail with ancient lava stepping stones. Two impressive lava-tube caves are just a five-minute walk from the parking lot.
