Kauai Open-Ceiling Sea Cave

1 of 3

The Open Ceiling Cave, commonly known as The Queen's Bath, is one of Kauai's most famous caverns and a significant tourist destination.

The open ceiling cave was previously a hollow lava tube with a closed ceiling. The ceiling eventually fell owing to erosion caused by the heavy sea waves, resulting in the masterpiece that we see today. An overhead view reveals the donut-shaped appearance that this cave has retained. The open roof lets in a lot of light, which creates a good color pallet on the pool.

The Open Ceiling Cave, like other sea caves on the Na Pali Coast, can only be reached by boat.
