USA Kaumana Caves State Park
A lush lava tube where jungle vines hang over the mouth of the “cave” and almost completely engulfed in overgrown ferns, tropical plants and trees. Brilliantly colored roosters and chickens roam the area (common all over the island).
Photography Tips
The only light is from sunlight so if you want to photograph further into the cave, be sure to bring a flashlight, headlamp, etc.
