B&B: Ohia Suite just 5 mins from Volcanoes NP

Enjoy peaceful Big Island Hawaii in a Contemporary Hawaiian Bed & Breakfast set in a Tropical Rainforest directly outside Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park. The custom designed & built Craftsman Cottage style home features private baths, cozy fireplaces and an all-you-can-eat tropical breakfast. We are nestled in a native Hawaiian rain forest in Mauna Loa Estates with giant ferns and Ohia trees in the storybook arts community of Volcano Village. The space Named after the legendary warrior, the Ohia tree graces much of the Volcano rainforest. It is the strongest and tallest tree in the area and its branches will often be covered with the beautiful Lehua flowers. In the Ohia loft, you will find a serene retreat to after the day’s adventures. The window overlooks the lush rainforest filled with Hapu’u ferns, wild ginger and, of course, the impressive Ohia trees. Wake up to the sound of chirping birds and perhaps catch a glance of the many pheasants that enjoy roaming in and out of the property. This charming room is the ideal place to relax and enjoy your Hawaiian vacation. Guest access Lava Pond Lodge Bed & Breakfast is located in the storybook village of Volcano Hawai'i, a community of artists, writers and scientists. We are secluded in the forest yet just 5 minutes from the entrance of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park with its spectacular hiking trails, scenic vistas and lava viewing. Volcano is 27 miles from the Hilo airport and 96 miles from Kailua- Kona.​ Other things to note While the biggest attraction to the area is certainly Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park there are also many other reasons to visit this area of the big island. The rainforest makes this a very unique area. ​Visit the Volcano Art Center Gallery and catch a live hula performance. Witness the magic of authentic native Hawaiian dance and storytelling. Choose a class from their schedule of creative arts workshops, writing, Hawaiian culture & nature workshops for all ages. We suggest wine tasting at the Volcano Winery, a trip to Rainbow Falls, a 80” tall waterfall, exploring the Kaumana Caves, enjoy the amazing views of the ocean and valley from Waipi'o lookout or hiking on Mauna Kea. One of our favorite weekend activities is seeing the Sea Turtles at Punalu'u Black Sand Beach which is a 38 minute drive from the lodge. Hilo also offers helicopter rides to view the beauty of the Island from above. I highly recommend the once-in-a-lifetime open door helicopter adventure. Registration Details TA/GE178-927-8720-01
