***APRIL 2008 UPDATE:*** They have sealed this lava tube! For photos, go to this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/17144603@N02/sets/72157604748683242/
We had a very unique experience on The Big Island’s southwestern shore. Hiking south along the coastal trail from Pu’uhonua o Hōnaunau, we found the lava tube mentioned in our guidebook. It was a tough crawl through the center of it, but once we reached the end, we had a unique perch.
The lava tube ends abruptly over the water. It was about 20 feet or so down to the water. And the water looked deep enough for us to jump. However, we did not indulge.
While we stood there snapping some photos and taping our experience, a small tour boat came along and slipped into a cave below us.
