This place is a must if you’re planning to explore the Hilo side of the Big Island! Minutes away from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and at a convenient distance from Hilo & the South. In Volcano Haven, we found a wide variety of guidebooks, maps and local tips that were extremely helpful for our trip - some of them that we would have never found online. The stay at the place was wonderful - Candice and Richard were great hosts, kind and understanding when we asked to leave a bit past 11 am. We really appreciated their prompt responses and local tips. The place exceeded our best expectations. No wonder why it’s called a haven, it felt just like that. Cozy, thoughtful details, and peaceful - all we needed for our trip. Even though we spent the day out exploring, we were always excited to come back to Volcano Haven at night. We will definitely return in a future trip to the Big Island!
