Description:

Thurston Lava Tube is one of the most visited lava tubes in the world. The entrance to this beautiful lava tube is along a path that wanders through a stunningly lush native Hawaiian rainforest. Discovered in 1913 by Lorrin Thurston, a local newspaper publisher, the roof of the lava tube was covered with lava stalactites, but those soon disappeared to souvenir collectors.

​

This cave is well lit by the national park and is a relaxing hike that you will not soon forget.
