We planned our trip so that we would wrap up our day starting in Kona and ending near the Volcano park. After seeing the volcano in the last afternoon, we arrived at Julia’s home. Wow! It’s a charming home with great plant life abound. After settling in, Julia recommended we go back to the Volcano park after dark and that really was the best tip ever because it’s totally different after dark! I would highly recommend anyone wanting to stay near the Volcano National Park to stay at Julia’s.
