Aloha, Late Summer Explorers!

As summer winds down and the crowds thin out, there’s a magical window of time—just before fall begins—when Hawai‘i feels even more like paradise. If you’re looking for a unique escape far from the ordinary beach resorts, our cozy Bed and Breakfast, Volcano Rainforest Retreat in Volcano, Hawaii is the perfect destination.

Why Visit Volcano, Hawai‘i at Summer’s End?

Tucked away on the lush slopes of Mauna Loa, Volcano is a hidden gem that offers cooler temperatures, mystical rainforest surroundings, and close proximity to one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders: Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
Late summer is an ideal time to visit—fewer tourists mean quieter trails, more wildlife sightings, and better availability at local attractions.

Stay Cozy, Stay Local

At our Bed and Breakfast, you’ll enjoy:

• Warm island hospitality with daily tropical breakfasts
• Peaceful, private accommodations surrounded by native ferns and ohia trees
• Personalized recommendations for exploring the park, local art galleries, and hidden scenic spots

Whether you’re sipping local coffee on the lanai or soaking in a garden Japanese ofuro tub under the stars, you’ll feel worlds away from your daily routine.

Can’t-Miss End-of-Summer Experiences:

• Explore lava tubes and crater trails in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park
• Visit the Volcano Art Center for local crafts and rotating exhibitions
• Take a twilight hike and witness the eerie glow from Kīlauea’s crater if the lava lake is active
• Join a native plant walk and learn about the rich ecological diversity of the area

Planning Tips for Your Trip

• Pack layers! Volcano’s elevation means cooler evenings (think 50s and 60s°F).
• Rent a car for flexible exploring—many of the best spots are a short scenic drive away.
