12 mile drive up the road to the lookout and trailhead - you might want to stop to adjust to rapid elevation change, but gorgeous up there!

Great place to have a picnic and explore the trails - beautiful eucalyptus trees and fresh air. You don’t need to be staying in the cabins to enjoy the trails - good mountain biking as well 🌈

Place of Intrigue
Very interesting history regarding WW2 - And the convenience store has cute stuff. The gas here is cheap, and the bowling alley is a bit of a family-friendly dive bar... there’s also a fantastic community theater here during “normal” times (closed at the moment). Definitely worth a visit, and great trails are nearby.

Always interesting things happening here - even when there’s nothing but a food truck and skateboarders 🤠 the Sunday farmers market is a must! (skate park section temp. closed)

A local gem, absolutely lovely people and an odd assortment of supplies. Restaurant next door has great pizza. I’m a little bias towards this shop over the Kilauea General Store... but they are both great🌋

Amazing local food and service (huge portions, be warned), and they also have a market with lots of groceries and supplies - more affordable than the other upper Puna convenience stores. The deep fried musubi is bomb.

Kurtistown Cafe
17-353 Volcano RoadLooks very unassuming but this local cafe is soo good and budget friendly 🤗
My favorite coffee on the island. Awesome atmosphere, all local coffee and chocolate. Don’t go if you’re in a rush, this is more of an “experience” then a quick stop for caffeine - absolutely worth it

Historic restaurant with iconic fireplace, higher price range for dinner (chef is amazing), but they also do a great breakfast and their lunch menu is very reasonable and delish.
