Na Pali Coast (Kalalau) backpack

I did this 4 day backpack with a great group of folks from the Hawaii Trail and Mountain Club. We spent the first day hiking the 11 mile trail in, then 2 days exploring the valley and beach. I hiked back out on the 4th day.

Boat about to enter a sea cave. I hung around for 10 minutes. The boat never came back out. Exactly how big is this cave????
