Description

Carved by ocean waters over thousands of years when sea levels were much higher, the cavern extends hundreds of feet into the mountainside. In Hawaiian tradition, it is revered as the subterranean home of Kane, the creator god, and the point where humankind emerged from the earth into daylight. Exploring the interior involves uneven terrain, darkness, and potential falling rocks.
