Secret Cave
in ****** on Oahu
Nope! It's a secret, so I'm not gonna tell you where it is, tee hee. This was such a cool find!! While wandering around ***** beach park, I happened upon this puka (hole) in the volcanic rock……
Wonder what's down there. A dragon? Maybe it's Batman's vacation bat cave? Who knows. I can hear water sloshing around down there though.
Kept wandering, and stumbled upon this puka.
Now that's more like it. It was about 10 feet down, but totally doable. Let's descend and hope there isn't actually a fire breathing dragon down there.
Nope! It's a super bad ass secret cave!! Sweet, and totally worth scraping up your knees a bit to get down there to see it!
You can swim around down there. I got a bit scared when I got deeper into it (but I'm kinda a chicken). You can really feel the tide pulling you in and out. It felt a bit like being in a washing machine. My tutu wahine (grandma) told me "Don't you be goin' down in those caves Angel Kalani, do you hear me? I mean it! I'll kick your okole (i don't have to tell you what that word means)!!" So anyway, save your okole and don't tell grandma.
I don't feel that this particular cave is terribly dangerous. If the tide is high, I can see how it could be. You could see that recently the tide was high enough to push small shells and coral up into some of the pukas in the cave walls. You should always be careful exploring Hawaii, people do die here, often. It's important to check the weather report for flash floods, see what the tide and the surf is doing before heading out. Hawaii is also too magical a place to not explore, so I'm going to keep on keeping on!
"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "wow! What a ride!" - Hunter S. Thompson
I agree Mr. Thompson….I agree…..
And with that, I leave you with another song from a local artist. Enjoy! Love you!
