Volcano National Park is located just outside of the village of Volcano. Just a short 40 minute trip from the Ohi'a Hideaway. Some areas have been closed following the 2018 lava flow largely due to earthquake damage. However, the parks is open and there is tons to explore! Highly recommended in early spring (March and April) when the Ohi'a blossoms are in bloom, absolutely gorgeous!
