Volcano Village is located within 1 mile from the entrance of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and is nestled in a tropical Ohia and Hapu'u fern forest and is famous for its incredible beauty and tranquility.
Some guidebooks refer to Volcano Village as the most picturesque place in all of the United States, an it is definitely magical.
In the Volcano area you will find a variety of accommodations to fit any budget. Friendly family operated Bed and Breakfast places, charming vacation houses, and even a very affordable hostel.
Volcano is located at an elevation of about 3800 feet, so don't expect sand and coconut trees. This majestic area features a tropical forest filled with lush foliage including such unique plants as Ohia trees with bright red Lehua Blossoms, and Hapu'u tree ferns. The weather can change quickly so always bring a sweater and a rain jacket. But if you happen to be in Volcano on one of those frequent beautiful bright and sunny days... you can't beat it... it's paradise... just remember... without rain there wouldn't be a rainforest. So if it rains a little... still have a good time. We just call it "liquid sunshine".
PLEASE!! The speed limit in Volcano Village is 25 MPH. We are a rural area, so we do have chickens, ducks, cats "and" children playing along the road!
