Mokoa Cabin

4.5(180 reviews)

About

Mokoa Cabin in Hawaii (Big Island) sits in Volcano, a settlement on the wetter windward side of the island where the climate runs damp for much of the year.

A 4.5 average across 180 reviews reflects steady custom, and the venue's website at http://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/camp.htm points visitors to planning information for the surrounding area. Kailua-Kona, Hilo, Waimea, the Kohala Coast, Puna, Captain Cook and Kona all lie within reach of the address.

Hawaii's wetter season runs from November to March and the drier stretch from April to October, so a visit can be timed around the rain. Trade winds arrive from the northeast and drop most of their moisture on the windward coasts, which is why Volcano and Hilo feel wetter than the Kona side.

A car is the practical way to get around the island, and public buses serve the larger routes. The islands themselves formed as the Pacific Plate moved over a hotspot, which is why the Big Island still has active volcanic ground beneath it.
