Near Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

Within a 30-minute drive from the Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park Visitor Center.

Hawaiian Rainforest Glamping is located in Fern Forest, a rural neighborhood, on three verdant acres of ōhiʻa lehua trees, tree ferns, banana plants, and fruit trees at 2100 feet. The yurt has its own bathroom with a flushing toilet and vanity sink. There is a large communal kitchen (a 16' x 16' kitchen cabin) that you can use free of charge, and an outdoor shower with hot water. In the summer, the greenhouse in the fenced paddock is full of vegetables. Free-ranging ducks and chickens supply eggs. There is an outdoor lounge area complete with a six-person picnic table, BBQ, four hammocks, and torches. Please note that the owner lives on the premises in their own cabin, 20 feet away from the yurt. The homestead is run by 6,000 watt solar-power and a rain-catchment system with a 4,500 gallon water tank. This is a peaceful place to relax and recuperate from the din of city life. There are no street lights, just the stars and moon after sunset. On a clear night, the sky is full of stars. It rains often in this area and the sound is soothing to fall asleep to. Check out our other site on this listing—a camping cabin (Rainforest Glamping Cabin). Several places of interest are within a 1.5 hour drive. Volcano National Park is only 15 minutes away by car; Punaluʻu black sand beach is 30 minutes; Ka Lae (South Point) is about 1.5 hours; and Hoʻokena Bay is about two hours. Note—now that the the holiday season is over, the Christmas decorations have been taken down.

Rainforest Cabin

An amazing stay on Big Island

Staying at the Rainforest Cabin was an amazing experience! It's a lovely place, full of amenities, and just about everything is complimentary (shampoo, spices, etc.). We have traveled extensively and have never seen such an excellent communal kitchen in the past. There is more stuff than we have at home, and everything is of high quality! The beds are very comfortable and we could hear numerous birds all night. Alohalani graciously offered us to use the yurt and its facilities (toilet, dining table, sofas) as there were no guests when we were staying in the cabin. It is very inexpensive for everything that's offered and the place is always spotless. The best part of the experience were the numerous discussions about Hawaiian culture with Alohani. That's what made the Rainforest Cabin a special place in our heart and a place we will recommend to all our friends. Mahalo Alohalani and you're more than welcome to stay at our place if you come to Ottawa one day. Merci beaucoup.

Rainforest Yurt

My friends and I LOVED staying at Alohalani’s yurt! She was so sweet and generous and the land was very nice. I would highly recommend it! The bathroom and shower were both very nice and the kitchen was fully stocked with all the supplies you would need.

Rainforest Yurt

Great place to stay

It was a wonderful experience for all of us. We had four kids with us and they loved this place so much so they didn’t want to leave. This is exactly what we were looking for. We could fully immerse into the nature and forget our fast-paced live in Los Angeles. It was so much fun for kids - they were running around with chickens and ducks. They were playing games outside which is very important for kids their age. The host is amazing person. She organized the place so well and everything was there for our needs. Our family likes camping and we do go camping often, but this place is above and beyond. Thank you Alohalani for hosting us! We will come back one day.

Rainforest Yurt

A dream Hawaiian experience

What an amazing experience at Marie's place! The yurt is huge, loads of space for a family of 4 and the ensuite bathroom a definite bonus! It was cozy at night, amazing sounds of the forest - the beds comfortable and everything inside the yurt was really clean and well maintained. The grounds itself are a delight, all lush and green and the free range chickens and ducks very social to have around. The separate kitchen area was immaculate and extremely well equipped for all meals we needed to prepare, including refrigerator space, utensils, crockery, stove etc. The welcome pack was really helpful for things we needed and reliable WiFi an unexpected advantage! Great location with most attractions (volcano national park, Hilo, beaches etc) within a short drive. This has been one of the highlights of our Hawaiian holiday and would highly recommend to others. Thank you Marie for your hospitality.

Rainforest Tent

We booked a tent site for one night. Unfortunately we never received any map or directions to the place we would stay so we drove around on gravel roads for 30 min without success. The adress was not up-to- date on hipcamp and the owner was ad the time overseas (so we couldn't even call due to time shift). At the end we left without staying and had to struggle to find a plan B camping. Which we found in the national park for less money. Not a good experience. A simple map or screenshot in hipcamp of the location would help. At least we got the money back.
