Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,

Hawaii Volcano, Volcano Hotels - Directory VolcanoHotels - Accommodations & Lodging at the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park So you want to visit the Volcano? GREAT CHOICE!! Only one mile from the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the tranquil Village of Volcano has a variety of Hotels, Vacation Houses, Inns, and B&Bs. Volcano is a romantic peaceful place where you get away from the noise, traffic, and city lights so commonly found elsewhere. You don't find any big hotels in Volcano, but instead smaller charming places that will bring you back in time when life seemed to be simpler. Relax, enjoy, and have a great time visiting this beautiful piece of paradise. All featured Hotels, Vacation Houses, Inns, and B&Bs meet our strict requirements to qualify as "Volcano Choice" Lodging. We know each owner / operator personally and they all take great pride in offering you a comfortable place to stay for your next Volcano vacation. Painting by local artist Kina Kam If you are not sure which place would best suit your needs, just let us know what you are looking for via email and we will be most happy to assist you in selecting the right place just for you. When it comes to fashion the local opinion is in general: "comfort is more important than fashion". Most days it is best to dress the "layered look" as it can be cold in the morning with temperature in the low 50s, and then as the day goes on temperatures generally climb to around the 70s. Due to being at an elevation of about 3800 feet, and our much cooler weather, there are no mosquitoes or other bugs in Volcano which are found at sea level. The weather can change very quickly from bright sunshine to tropical rain, and right back to bright sunshine. Even within our own town sometimes you can have rain on one side and sunshine on the other side of the Village, which is referred to as having "micro" climates. Living in Paradise, we take the weather as it comes. Without some rain once in a while we would not have the tropical lush Hapu'u forest that Volcano is known for. Cardinals, Hawaiian Hawks, Ohia Trees with bright Red Lehua Blossoms, Nene Goose, a Volcano, Steam Vents, Lava Tubes, and so much more. What more can we ask for? We love Volcano, and we hope you will enjoy your visit to the place we call "home" . VOLCANO HOUSE: There is only one hotel in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which is the Volcano House Hotel. The Volcano House does have the exclusive concession to operate a lodging facility in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. If you are interested in reservations at the Volcano House, please call them at 967-7321. Their website is www.volcanohousehotel.com . All the Bed and Breakfast places and vacation houses included in our directory are within 1-3 miles of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, so there are lots of wonderful places in the same general area as the Volcano House.
