When it saids Jungle Hangout, its in a jungle. My brother and two friends joined me on the Big Island for the first leg of our adventure. We pull up to this house and it's in a remote location. About 30 minutes from Hilo. It's beautiful and exists in the surrounding jungle very well. If you're afraid of bugs or don't like the woods, then this probably isn't a good basecamp for your adventure. The house was well stocked with condiments and even wine and chocolate. We felt right at home. The place isn't fancy but like I said, its perfect for a family basecamp. One of the coolest things is turning off the lights and seeing the lava light up the sky from one of the big windows (very safe distance). Overall I enjoyed my time here.
