We spent an amazing week at Oksana's place. She was very helpful and particularly considerate of our privacy! Her place was both spacious and comfortable, and we enjoyed waking to pleasant bird songs each day. Oksana's place is centrally located on the eastern coast of Hawai'i Island, so we explored the Big Island a lot from there. We made multiple visits to Volcanoes National Park, and climbed Mauna Kea. We frequented the farmers' markets and local food specialties in Hilo. I especially enjoyed our off-road adventure to the spectacular Papakolea Green Sand Beach (we did it in a solo Jeep Wrangler without incident, but paid local truck-bed rides are also an option), where we admired the geology and bodysurfed to exhaustion (take note of rock locations, undertoe currents and strong winds - no lifeguard on duty). Oksana's place was perfect for us!
