Thurston Lava Tube (Nahuku), Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

This was quite an experience. You basically take a short walk through the jungle and then happen upon this dark tube where lava one flowed. It was like something out of a movie. It was supposed to be lit, but we ended up having to use the flashlights on our phones to light the way, not knowing how far we were walking. You then climb stairs out to the jungle area again. Just an awe inspiring short walk for sure.

One of the most popular site to see in Big Island Hawaii!! It is so amazing to know that this lava tube was once where the lava flowed into this mountain..🌋 The tunnel maybe about 3/4 of a mile.. there's light installed but it's not that bright. If you come to see it, bring a flashlight. There are few areas that have paddle of water or can be slippery. It's easy walking and kids friendly. Wheelchair may not be a good idea because of the uneven pavement and some stairs. At the end of the tunnel, you come out to this beautiful jungle. ♥️♥️♥️ A MUST SEE !! Come and have fun! 😊 🤙..
