Haniniholo, Waikanaloa & Waikapalae Wet Caves are located off the the main road in the Haena State Park and are easy to get to. Maniniholo Dry Cave is located directly across the street from Haena Beach Park. This large opening dry cave can be explored easily and is fun to explore with children.

Maniniholo dry cave is 300 yards deep and leads to a small exit hole on the side of the mountain. The cave's interior used to be much larger but a 1957 tsunami partially filled the cave with sand. Take some time to explore this dry cave while visiting the North Shore

After spending my childhood in the Ozark Highlands exploring caves as a junior member of a caving club, caves are comfortable places for me. I love their peculiar smell, like the freshly exposed earth after a spring-night thunderstorm, or that final waft of autumn that it’s time for the rituals of checking your light sources and extra batteries, and adjusting your gloves and kneepads. I love the moment when, after you’re turned a corner or scrambled up some breakdown from the ceiling, you have passed beyond the twilight zone near the cave’s entrance to deep and total darkness. Many people find the utter lack of natural light disorienting or frightening, a place where vaguely imagined fears (or real ones for people who are frightened of bats) begin to intrude on their consciousness. But I love it. The darkness and the thick silence allow you to hear every drop of water shaping the rock around you. ~ Page 133
