A choice location, the Volcano Guest House in Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii is an eco-tourist's delight. As the hotel works within the tropical rainforest preserve to enhance and save the natural beauty of Hawaii, visitors will relish the treasures of the jungle. Deep within the forest, the inn is also a quick drive away from the sparkling beach and the steamy plumes formed when lava hits the ocean.
Among the greenest of hotels, there are numerous efforts made to maximize comfort while giving back to the island. Solar energy supplements the power and special low-energy mattress pads keep visitors toasty at night, while the linens dry in the bright sun and fragrant air. A hot tub and open lanais and porches let guests appreciate the native species of the island as they relax. Breakfasts of fresh fruit found in the Hawaiian islands lets guests get off to a good start on their vacation adventures, and snacks can be found all day long.
The five quarters are eclectic and constructed from reclaimed materials and antiques that have been restored and put to new use, such as large windows taken from 1940s military barracks or wood floors imported from a California warehouse and refinished. These unique salvaged goods are balanced by modern amenities such as internet and television. Each has a private bathroom and features gorgeous forest views.
For those who want a great holiday in the Hawaiian islands while learning about sustainable eco-tourism, the Volcano Guest House is a fantastic choice. The ingenuity and creative energy of the hosts will inspire visitors while making unique memories of their stay on the Big Island.
