The screened in porch is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or to relax after a long day in the park. Kipuka is named after a Hawaiian term for an &quot;island&quot; of land completely surrounded by one or more younger lava flows. Gas grill available on request. Room shares mid-sized fridge with one other room.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />TA/GE178-927-8720-01
