Be sure to bring flashlights and slip-resistant footwear. The rocks are slippery and since you are in a cave, a flashlight would help. And be sure to go with a fun group of people who enjoy exploring. We could definitely to this again. We did not allow enough time to venture as far in as we would have liked, so... More

Read about the caves online, and decided to look for it. Basically straight up the hill from the tsunami museum, and stay left at the y intersection. is up the road a ways. Parking opposite the caves. there were soem weak flashlights left there pay it forward kinda thing. used them into the caves. Steps down are steep, be warned.... More

Very easy to visit - just on the side of the road from Hilo to Saddle Road. Make sure you take your headlamp so you can explore. Very interesting to be inside the lava!

This place is not easy to find- gps only got us close, but lava formations in cave are really cool. You definitely need a good flashlight/lantern. This cave was way better than the Thurston Lava Tube at Volcanoes National Park- I only wish I had a guide or more signs explaining what I was seeing. Would definitely recommend this quick... More

You can actually get through a few miles of caves and end up in a neighborhood. Personally I have never been brave enough to do it i was alone with a broke flashlight and i got about 2 miles deep into the cave then turned around. Oh yeah, I had my trumpet with me so I played for a little... More

These lava tubes are not for the faint of heart. Take flashlights, sturdy shoes, and spare batteries. Also try not to freak out. They are very dark with all sorts of small nooks and crannies. Once while exploring ahead of the group I thought I saw something big run past on the edge of my light and had a bad... More

After you go down the steps, there is a cave to the left that is about 1/4 mile long. The cave is pitch black, interesting and you totally need lanterns. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU WALK THE TOTAL LENGTH OF THE CAVE/TUBE WHEN YOU EXIT THE OTHER END THE TRAIL IS NOT MARKED AND THERE IS SIGNIFICANT BRUSH OVERGROWTH WHICH... More

We tried to visit the caves during rainy weather in Hilo. There are no good paths to get to the caves and the ground is uneven and rocky. Because of the rain the one cave that I visited had water dripping from the ceiling. I got to the mouth of the cave and called it a day. Too rocky and... More

Our family of four stopped by the caves on our way from Hilo to Kona. The rainforest around, on, and in the mouth of the cave was gorgeous. Although the name implies multiple caves, it's really one lava tube that had part of its roof collapse. You enter the tube by descending stairs down through the opening made by that... More
