Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
Established in 1916, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is one of the "Jewels in the Crown" of the National Park Service. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve, the park protects over 133,000 hectares (330,000 acres) with over 241 kilometers (150 miles) of hiking trails. The park is home to two of the most active volcanoes on Earth (Mauna Loa and KÄ«lauea), rare and imperiled species, and unique Hawaiian cultural sites. Located within walking distance of the KÄ«lauea House Bed & Breakfast, the park website offers great ways to "Plan Your Visit."
Volcano Golf Course
Volcano Golf Club is an 18 hole, par 72, 6547 yard course. As one of the world's most unusual courses, it is set on the rim of the active Kilauea volcanic crater, lying in the cool highlands 4,000 feet above sea level. This makes for sweeping vistas of Mauna Loa and Maunakea Mountains - which both are typically snow-capped during winter- and offers crisp, clean air for a truly enjoyable game of golf for players of all abilities.
ʻAkaka Falls State Park
A short drive north from Hilo, ʻAkaka Falls takes a dramatic 135 metre (442 feet) plunge to the valley below. A small $5 entrance fee is well worth it. The hike is a short beautiful loop through lush tropical forest on a well maintained trail. This is a very popular stop when visiting the East side of Hawaii Island.
Punaluʻu Beach Park
When you think of Hawaii Island's famous black sand beaches - the iconic Punalu'u beach is at the top of the list. With tropical breezes, waving coconut palms, basking sea turtles and blue water, this landmark is a short 35 minute drive from the Kilauea House Bed & Breakfast.
Punaluʻu Bake Shop
Punalu'u Bake Shop is the Southernmost Bakery in the United States. The bakery is world famous for their Hawaiian sweetbread and some of the best malasadas and bread pudding anywhere. Top it off with locally grown coffee and you have a perfect rest stop for your visit to the island's South side.
