Centrally located in the Puna district to all of the local activities and attractions. Go one way to fantastic snorkeling in Kapoho and the wonders of the Red Road such as the Hopt Pond, surfing, and great jungle/ocean views. Another short drive takes you to the wonders of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to see a live volcano up close. Plan to spend the day as there is much to see and do there. Great hikes including the Thurston Lava Tube. Hilo is not far and has great restaurants, shops, museums and beautiful views out to Hilo Bay and the often snow capped Mauna Kea. Just north of Hilo is the Famous Hamakua Coast with breathtaking views of valleys and the ocean. Be sure and drive up to the Waipi'o Valley Overlook for more incredible views then on to the western town of Wiamea where the famous Parker Ranch is. Don't miss our famous Farmer's Markets. Hilo has one on Wednesday and Saturday and the Makuu Market just outside of Pahoa is on Sunday.
