Kula Kai Caverns, Ocean View

10/10 must see on your trip! We did the relatively new archeology tour about an hour and a half and it was phenomenal! We learned so much. Mark was our guide and you could tell how passionate he is about what he does. He was so informative and truly made this an experience to remember. I wish we had more time on the island to do another tour here. After we found this on our way to Volcano National Park from Kona (it is on the way) we decided to stop to see if they had any tours. It is in a gated community so you do have to call. We spoke to Gary on the phone who was super nice and we got into a tour within an hour. We are so happy we were able to experience this. As you are in the caverns you feel as though you can place yourself back in time as you listen to how the people of that time lived through certain experiences. So convenient and very close to the southern most point. ♡♡♡

My daughter (9 yo) loves rocks and geology so this was a special treat for her and us. Our guide, Nico, was very informative and helpful with the kids and all their questions. And believe me, they had lots of questions. The Lighted Trail tour was short and sweet, and it was very cool to see the different lava formations and learn how the Hawaiian people utilized the lava tubes for travel and water.
