If you have been to other areas of Hawai`i, you will know that some areas are very warm. Volcano has quite a different climate and it is cool here with the crisp air of mountain elevation. Anticipate rain, sun on most afternoons and cooler evening temperatures. It is very uncommon for properties in the area to have air conditioning. With ample doors and windows the air circulates beautifully.<br /><br />Volcano Village is one of the last areas of native rainforest in all of Hawai`i. It is an incredibly special place that we invite you to enjoy and appreciate. Being remotely located, please be prepared that there may be times of slow traffic on our two lane highway. Sometimes limbs fall on our power lines interrupting power service. We keep flashlights and candles at the units for these instances. It is not uncommon for local restaurants to be closed, so it is a good practice to check before venturing out. Please be aware that Coqui frogs are Volcano residents. They make a chirping sound that is a bit like loud crickets. For light sleepers this may be a bit disruptive. Volcano Village is a small, forest town on a volcano on an outlying island in the middle of the Pacific ocean. Expect the unexpected and you will have a wonderful adventure in a magical place.<br /><br />Being near the Volcano we are often asked about the activity and any safety concerns. The residential area near the park is considered a low risk lava zone. In the past 100,000 years there has not been a flow recorded in the area of Volcano Village. The active eruption area from the 2018 eruption was in the East Rift Zone, about a 1 hour drive from Volcano Village, near the coast in the Pahoa area. The Mauna Loa eruption of 2022 has concluded with no risk to any inhabited areas. The flow was not near Volcano Village and this area was not at risk. <br /><br />We update our guests if there are changes in conditions that might impact your visit.<br /><br /><b>Registration Details</b><br />STVR 19-351259
