I have been going through a lot of loss and grief recently in my life so I decided to take a solo trip to Hawaii! Puna Rainforest was exactly what I needed to help the healing process. There are 3 other cottages in close range but everyone kept to themselves and were respectful. The host lives in a farm house down the gravel road from the cottages. I absolutely loved the stream vents and coqui frog lullaby at night. I loved sharing the cottage with the cute geckos although I felt they were pretty judgmental with those side looks at times. Haha! Pahoa is a very nice smaller town and there’s great restaurants and grocery stores that are easy to get to! I will most definitely be back.
