~ About the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park ~
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, displays the results of 70 million years of volcanism, migration, and evolution -- processes that thrust a bare land from the sea and clothed it with complex and unique ecosystems and a distinct human culture. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most active volcano, offers scientists insights on the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes.

Over half of the park is designated wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.

The National Park Web site provides up-to-date information on volcanic activity, safety, schedule of park lectures/presentations, tours and hiking trails.

  • Hi Peggy: Thank you for sharing Pele's secret garden with us. We had our little piece of heaven in the midst of vacano and rainforest for the past three days, and truly appreciated all the thoughtful details you arranged which made our stay so warm and cozy. The property is absolutly gorgeous - prettiest in our VRBO experience so far. Our toddler enjoyed running around the porch and yard and checking out the rocks, plants and windchimes. Every night we ate dinner while watching soft evening light outside fading into deep and quiet darkness. We also enjoyed reading the book"the old turtle and the truth" by the fireplace. Thanks again. We will definitely recommend to our friends and family.

  • Thank you so much for our stay at your beautiful home in Volcano. I took my mother there for a surprise Mother's Day trip. WOW, your home was beyond our expectations. All the details from the fresh flowers to the yummy treats waiting for us was amazing. We felt right at home in all the comforts a house should have. My mother is already talking about our next trip back. So you will definitely see us again!

  • What a beautiful home and a great location! My family of four truly enjoyed our 3 night stay. This welcoming home felt so safe and comfortable. It is quite evident that the owner has decorated this home with care. We appreciated the many amenities provided to make our stay enjoyable. We arrived to find fresh fruit, flowers, breakfast foods and snacks as well all the little things like nightlights, flashlights, umbrellas, laundry detergent and wood/starters for a toasty fire. We can highly recommend staying here while exploring the island, visiting Volcano National Park or just getting away to a peaceful setting. Pele's Secret Garden was Paradise on the Big Island for us! Thank you, Peggy!!!

    Thank you for a fabulous stay! things we loved about Pele's Secret Garden: being "home" from the National Park in minutes, TOTAL silence at night (and total darkness!), sleeping on the side of a volcano, the feeling of being in a fainforest/jungle but being in Hawaii, the pireplace on a chilly night, this beautifully furnished home with so many comforts and luxuries, the fresh flowers throughout the house....and so much more....

    Thank you for renting us your beautiful house. We had a wonderful first leg of our honeymoon here. We highly recommend the hike to the Green Sand Beach and also the Kilauea Iki hike at Volcanos to future guests. We leave empowered by Pele's beauty and hope to visit again.

    Your home far exceeded our expectations with all its amenities and features. The setting was great for winding down our vacation from the hustle and bustle of Maui. With this as our base we were able to take leisurly trips to the volcano, black sand beach and to Hilo for a plane ride over the island. Would definitely recommend your place to anyone coming to the Big Island.

  Scott ,
  • I have stayed at "Pele's Secret Garden" twice now. The location is excellent for exploring the Volcano and the surrounding area. The beautiful new house is located in a "Hawaiian tree fern" forest and it is so quiet and peaceful. I love to listen to the different native birds with their unique songs. The Hawaii Volcanoes Natl. Park is just minutes away and has extensive hiking trails for the beginner or the expert. If you love photograpy like I do you will be in heaven. At around 4000 feet elev. the weather during the day is commonly in the 70s and at night it is cool and crisp. I love the fact that I can light a fire in the fireplace after returning from exploring the island all day and the bed had a down comforter that kept us warm all night. I also enjoyed the fact that Volcano Village has a small grocery store and some excellent restaurants but you can drive just 30 minutes away and be in the tropical town of Hilo and have all the shopping and restaurants you could want. My favorite part of the island is actually Puna and it is so close. I love the jungles and rugged coastline of Puna and really enjoy spending time at Kahena Black Sand Beach. I could go on and on about my love for this island and staying at "Pele's Secret Garden". I am a travel photographer for the island of Hawaii and like to use this home as a base for my travels to the volcano and beyond and recommend that you do so also. Scott
