We are located near Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, where fire goddess Pele expands the island daily. The dramatic lava cliffs of the coastal area provide for close- up views of turtles and dolphins and seasonal whale watching. The cliff also provides a haven for sunbathing, meditation or yoga. Nearby attractions include: natural black sand beach (clothing optional), frequented by dolphins Volcanoes National Park, where lava has been actively flowing since 1983 lava tube cave tidal pools for splashing and snorkeling natural steam baths bays for fishing and kayaking spectacular waterfalls an ancient forest of lava tree molds historic villages and farmers' markets botanical gardens, and anthurium and orchid farms To register by phone call: 808-943-0999 We are here Eleven different climate zones generate everything from lush rain forests to arid deserts, black sand beaches to snow-capped mountaintops.
