    Hiking

    This so-called bottomless hole actually forms a projection of about twenty meters. Unless we refer to the Hawaiian legend according to which it would descend to the depths of the ocean. It's up to you to choose the version that excites you the most.

    It is called bottomless pit but really only 65 ft deep. Ancient Hawaiians used to thow things in for blessings and ceremonies.
