The caves were created by a lava tube from an 1881 eruption of Mauna Loa, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth.
The caves stretch for approximately 25 miles, although only a small portion is accessible to the public.
Inside the caves, visitors can observe fascinating lava stalactites and stalagmites formed by cooling lava.
Visitors are advised to bring flashlights and wear sturdy shoes due to the uneven and dark terrain inside the caves.
The caves are located within Kaūmana Caves County Park, which provides picnic areas and restrooms for visitors.
The temperature inside the caves remains relatively cool, providing a refreshing escape from the Hawaiian heat.
