Underground gallery of about fifty meters created by the solidification of the upper part of the magma in contact with the air
Also called Nahuku, this lava tunnel was formed 500 years ago. Discovered by accident, this underground gallery of about 50 meters was created by the solidification of the upper part of the magma in contact with the air. You can visit this impressive tunnel, perfectly lit, after a short walk on a path with tropical vegetation. A small bridge leads to the entrance in the middle of the ferns! The visit is quick but worth the detour. The red lava colored lamps set the mood. Toilets and parking on site.

This lava tube is much smaller and less long than the one you visit on the island of Lanzarote, nevertheless it is very well arranged and the loop in loop in the fork allows to see some beautiful tree ferries. In October, it is not too popular, but rain is often present in the volcanoes park.

Très sympa de pouvoir entrer dans le tunnel de lave. Malheureusement quand nous y sommes allés, le passage pour faire la boucle était fermé et nous avons du faire un aller-retour. Malgré cela, très/trop touristique à mon goût.

Tube de lave sur le "Crater Rim Drive", pas très loin du Visitor's center. L'accès est bien aménagé, on fait une boucle sans revenir par le même chemin, et heureusement quand on voit les flots de bus qui déversent leurs hordes de touristes (asiatiques principalement), même tôt le matin.
Petite visite très facile mais usine à touristes.

Après un sentier, on atteint un tunnel, éclairé. Très riche en végétation, ce tunnel de lave est impressionnant.
En face, départ d'un trail : le Kilauea Iki trail, un sentier en boucle.
