Kaumana cave was formed during the 1881 eruption. The lava flow traveled over 25 miles, stopping just short of Hilo Bay. The cave is nearly 2 miles long and can provide hours of up-close-and-personal spelunking. Bring along a good flashlight and extra batteries. You can’t get lost but you can get hurt stumbling around in the dark. Hwy 200 (Saddle Road) 4 miles west of Hilo.

 KAUMANA CAVES STATE PARK KAUMANA CAVES STATE PARK ROUND TRIP MILEAGE: 0.5 MILE ELEVATION GAIN: 100' This park offers a quick diversion into a lava tube. You can descend on a metal ladder into a skylight in a lava tube that was created by an 1881 flow from Mauna Loa. Unfortunately, you cannot explore this long tube because it immediately travels underneath private property. There are no admission fees, and the park features restrooms and picnic tables. Trailhead: From Hilo, follow Hwy. 200, the Saddle Road, to the west. Locate Kaumana Caves State Park between the 4 and 5 mile markers (right after 4 mm). The parking area is on the south side of the road, but the park is on the north side. Weather Gear: Wear sturdy shoes. Bring a flashlight. View fullsize  MAP Hike: Carefully cross Hwy. 200 (Kaumana Dr.) and simply descend the steep metal staircase into the collapsed skylight of the lava tube. You can explore a short way in both directions before the lava tube enters private property. Bring a flashlight if you intend to travel beyond the cave .

A fun cave system to visit in Hilo. You can explore for 10 minutes or 5 hours.

A dazzling natural wonder, the Kaumana Caves are part of a 25-mile-long lava tube winding through the slopes of Mauna Loa. The section of the caves open to the public stretches for approximately 2 miles. Many areas near the entrance are lit by sunlight, but the cave is damp, cool and often muddy, with lots of vines, ferns and roots hanging down from the entranceway and ceiling. Visitors can observe a wide variety of lava formations. Admission is free but make sure to bring flashlights, extra batteries, a light jacket and good hiking shoes.
