Step back in time, when railroads and sugarcane dominated Hawaii. This former railroad station now caters to visitors in search of adventure. Sunshine, cooling trade winds, and mountain glimpses all compliment this choice hilltop location. Those old timers really knew how to pick 'em! Nestled beside Green Mountain with its crater lake, you're only a short 5 minute drive to awesome Cape Kumukahi, snorkeling in Kapoho Bay, soaking in the hot ponds, or catching a wave at Pohoiki. Continue down the coast to find your own secret beach, or let it all hang out at Kehena's black sand beach. A little further you'll see Madame Pele adding new land to the Big Island. Head mauka to the historic town of Pahoa, with its colorful characters, eclectic shops, and fine dining. In Puna, on the eastern tip of the Big Island, you'll have the adventure of a lifetime!
Kapoho Village Inn is located in the former village of Kapoho. This village was mostly destroyed by the 1960 eruption. Legend says Pele, Hawaiian goddess of fire, came to each Kapoho residence prior to the 1960 eruption asking for shelter and food. Those who provided for her were told not to worry with her departure. Others weren't spared. Luckily, the original owners were generous residents.
Kapoho Village Inn sits across from what was the sugar cane railroad stop from the early 1900's. Our inn originally was a boarding house for the sugar cane workers who rode the train. It is a unique and magical location where you step back in time to old Hawaii. You can relax on the large front verandah, where you can view Green Mountain, a large older cinder cone cloaked in lush vegetation, while you enjoy a refreshing tropical drink. Walk amongst our numerous tropical fruit trees and exotic foliage in the garden. For a change of scenery enjoy the lanai looking upon the 1960 cinder cone which dips down into a crater stretching for miles in a park like forest setting. Locals say the 1960 cinder cone fountain directly behind the inn.
Feeling adventurous? Venture in our backyard, hike up the cone and explore the crater. If you want to cool off, we are less than 5 minutes from Kapoho's fabulous snorkeling, Alahunui hot pond, and Pohoiki surfing.
