Centrally Located Explorers Hale

The ULTIMATE rainforest experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes! We have strong wifi and grid power so there is never a shortage. We also feature a 10,000-gallon rainwater catchment that is ALWAYS full! Enjoy rainforest showers with endless hot water! Our cabins are newly updated with added comforts. Although we have everything you will want to be comfortable, we have done so in a sustainable way, with about 1/4 of the energy consumption of the average household.

This rustic, jungle themed jungalow with exposed stud walls and built in shelves for a light, open feel, features a mini fridge, propane heater, private full bathroom and covered lanai. There is one queen bed in the cabin. We have another listing that will also sleep two. The cabins are right next to each other making it ideal for groups!

There is a kitchen on property shared with one other rental perfect for making friends while traveling! The kitchen features a brand new washer, dryer, stainless steal sink and is stocked with all the cooking supplies you will need. The room, lanai and bathroom are private, only the kitchen is shared and in another structure. Even though the bathroom is outside, it is placed where there is plenty of privacy still.

We provide a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island that our past guests have loved!

HOT TUB
We have a hot tub deck with a plug n play spa. Use of this is NOT included in your nightly stay but is available as an add on for 15/night. Please note that the $15/night is not for the nights you would want to use it but for each night of your stay regardless if you use it. The cheapest rental on island, with a hot tub is AT LEAST double our nightly price. We will need to know ahead of time.
The deck is communal space.

TOURS
At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them. Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer and shorts with educational island facts! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal ponds, to hikes that lead to waterfalls!

BEACH GEAR
We have surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear available for guests as well as beach towels!

MISC
There are a total of four cabins on the one-acre lot. The owners and groundskeepers are on property including dogs, cats, and chickens. We homestead and have many foods growing such as lilikoi, bananas, papayas, pineapple, fig, strawberries, poha berries, sugar cane, lemons, blood oranges, rosemary, basil and more! We are a 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue so there are various dogs/puppies here at any given time. We love when our guests take dogs on field trips!

Rainforest massages are available starting at $100 for the hour.

We are about about a 30 minute drive from the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and a lovely central location to many other places on the island. Keep in mind, we are a BIG island so more driving is required here than the other islands.

We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. All of our cabins are equipped with propane heaters for comfort. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, we suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

Again, please be aware, we do have dogs on property. They are in a fenced area. We are a 501c3 nonprofit dog rescue, so our stay is usually best for people that love animals, as we also have cats that roam the property.
