Come fall in love with volcanoes by staying amid the woods at the vacation rentals of Wood Valley in Kau district of Big Island, Hawaii. The lush tropical forest, Wood Valley lies at the base of Mauna Loa, which is one of the largest volcanoes in the world, forming much of what Big Island is made of. The vacation houses and mountain cottages of Wood Valley vacation rentals fall amid the exotic growth of plants and flora formed of the fertile volcanic soil with surrounding coffee and macadamia nut farms.
Wood Valley is within minutes to Volcanoes National Park and myriad vacation rentals in the lush town offer enough freedom and space to explore all facets of the natural wonders of volcanoes. Volcanoes National Park is a resort in its own right and you’d not be gasping for more exploring the active Kilauea Volcano or the museums this park inhabits featuring interesting historical anecdotes. Volcanic activity apart, the nearby Punaluu Beach Park’s black sand beach and South Point - the southern most tip of Big Island and thereby USA’s too - are worth a visit. The equally lush Volcano Village of Puna also lies close by.
It is no wonder that the Wood Valley’s peaceful and exotic beauty is home to Wood Valley Buddhist Temple aptly befitting an ideal meditation spot. Peacefully meditate; revel in exploring volcanic steam vents and sulphur banks; walk amid the lush tropical woods or take a history lesson in the petroglyph parks. Whatever the mood or reason, a holiday in one of the Wood Valley vacation rentals is beyond comparison to explore Big Island in a truly big way.
