Hi Nancy. Thanks for watching and appreciate the nice feedback. The other lava tube(s) are called Kaumana Caves. It’s a small state park and it’s one tube but you can go in two directions, and for a long way. Definitely bring a light other than your phone. We like the left side the best and less people go that side for some unknown reason.

I got campsites just up the road from this.

This is the best video we've found for visiting the park. I assume this whole area is within the park and the entrance fee covered all the sites you went to? We are staying just 5 minutes away on the other side and was wondering if it's possible to take our son back for a break then return later to see the lava flow. If we return after 7 and the park is closed, can we still drive in or the gates will be closed to vehicles? Thanks so much.

1:34 you forgot about KMC.

Being a resident for over 40 years I was shocked to find a $30 entry fee (good for 7 days) per car 24/7.. They used to wave the fee before 7am and after 5pm. Not any more.. There is a $55 one year pass, your average local likely won't want to pay that much. I suspect the park gets lots of people tuning around at the gate..

Fun fact... when you have an "au" in a word the 2 letters together are pronounced "ow". For example Mauna is pronounced M ow nah. Also Holei is pronounced Ho lay.

You have great info but need to learn how to say pauahi. Not pu hi Pow-ahHee Not mu-ana ulu but Mow na or ma una You keep reversing the letters 😢
