The Big Lanai is an off grid home located in the rain forest area of Hawaii! it is an awesome place to get away and just be one with nature. We love that all the amenities are available even though it is off grid. Yes there is wifi! If you dont like the weather just drive into Hilo where it is hot and sunny. Shanda is an awesome host and now a lifelong friend! You wont be disappointed at the Big Lanai.
