Tunnels Beach Kauai: No-Swim Meltdown & Maniniholo Dry Cave Adventure

Looking for real travel experiences, unexpected adventures, and raw island vibes? Join us—Mark and Linda’s X Adventures—as we explore Tunnels Beach (Makua Beach) and Maniniholo Dry Cave on the breathtaking north shore of Kauai, Hawaii.

Our plan was simple: swim, snorkel, and soak in paradise at the iconic Tunnels Beach. But strong rip currents turned it into a no-swim zone—and our beach day took a turn. Instead of calling it quits, we headed across the road to Maniniholo Cave, one of Kauai’s most legendary and mysterious natural sites.

Inside the cave, we captured rare drone footage, creating an atmospheric and immersive view of the cave’s interior—paired with an original soundtrack, "Dub From the Depths" by DJ Nastypants. You’ve never seen the inside of a Hawaiian lava tube like this before.
