Rainforest Hale was the perfect landing pad between our two half days at VNP. The last stretch of road is unpaved but nothing our compact rental car couldn’t handle. E kindly met us at the gate for check in and showed us the little cabin packed full of thoughtful touches like coffee, fresh fruit, tropical flowers, makeup wipes, and TV/movies. We had a perfectly restful night on the comfy bed. Because of the cabin’s proximity to VNP, we were able to hit Kilauea Iki trail early and beat the midday crowds. Definitely stay here if you’re doing multiple days at the park!
