We stayed 6 nights at the Explorers Bungalow and this is the perfect base for exploring the park and the windward side of the big island. The park entrance is five minutes away making return trips to the park for night lava viewing a breeze. The property is very well thought out and very private. You feel like you are in the jungle but are really only a minute from Hwy11. We recommend this property highly and feel it is an excellent value.
