Newcomer / Intro caves?

maybe if you start by listing all the caving games you love. Other than spelunky
NMS is in another forum and an imaginary universe with cartoon characters and you can even make your own caves - have fun.
Not in Horizons but maybe in Odyssey 
There are indeed caves. Search for alien bases using Google. They have some fantastic things in them. There's one here:

Please explain! Those look like pretty traditional caves to me.
I thought they were grounded hive ships sort of thing?
That’s what they look like to me.
When they first appeared there was some speculative debate around whether they had landed on the surface or grown out of it. I don't know if a conclusive answer was ever found.
I call them corridors, maybe passages, but not caves.

omg ty i will check
Except of course for those bugged planet surfaces where you find yourself inside the large hollow enclosed space that is the planet.
(Have not come across one in a long time though.)
can someone point me to a system that has a planet as described by the fellow commander? the alien bases are very interesting but the creatures are respawn forever and I did not adapt to live with them.Except of course for those bugged planet surfaces where you find yourself inside the large hollow enclosed space that is the planet.

at this time the only cave like structures are the thargoid bases\crashed ships
what para hardy is referring to is a bug

There was (and perhaps still sometimes is) an old bug, where if you hit the surface of a planet at high speed, you'd glitch right through the surface and be able to fly around "inside" the hollow planet. Kinda boring, since there's nothing in there but empty space and you can't enter Supercruise so have to fly around at normal-space speeds, and when it happened you needed rescuing by FDev because trying to punch back out through the surface again almost always destroyed your ship.
These days, the only way to get yourself trapped inside a planet is to fly into the path of a planet's orbit, log off, then time your logging-back-in-again to coincide with the arrival of the planet in that exact same location. Same result (getting trapped inside a giant hollow ball, needing to be rescued by FDev) but quite tricky to replicate, and almost impossible to do by accident.
So, not really a "cave" in the conventional sense of the word.
