We took a Roberts Tour to Volcanoes National Park and Rainbow Fall on April 17, 2012. It was a fantastic tour and a great value for the money! More

We stopped at the gallery for a cup of coffee and some shopping. The owner was so warm, chatty, and inviting. The gallery carried a wide and inspired variety of arts at various prices. Our whole family just loved the place, the atmosphere, and the people! More

Ira Ono has a delightful gallery filled with a wide variety of art. There are items less than $20, others less than $50 and others that climb in price through the hundreds and thousands of dollars. There are paintings, jewelry, sculpture, glasswork, woodwork and more. Something for everyone! Don't let your luggage restraints hinder you. They will graciously ship a... More

My husband and I wandered into the Volcano Art Center after leaving the visitor center for the park. What a surprise to find it here! I think we spent more time in the art center than we did in the visitor center. We found prints here that were hanging in our charming cottage in Puako -- a perfect reminder of... More

I live on the Big Island and I visit the Volcano Art Gallery (run by the Volcano Art Center) every couple of months. Most recently, my husband and I took visiting relatives there when we visited the park. The gallery located in the old hotel, across the street from the new (but temporarily closed) hotel. Use the parking lot for... More

The Volcano Art Center is down a path and slightly behind the visitor's center in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It is part gallery, part gift shop. The gallery rotates some of the finest and most meaning art on the island through the display. Presently there is a Herb Kane retrospective exhibit. The building was the original Volcano House, where visitors... More

The road gets very, very curvey. It took over two hours to get there. Since we didn't get to Kona until 2:30 pm we hurried to drive to the National Park. We got there right before the Information desk closed at 5:00 pm. I was dissapointed that there was not much to see. I think you would have to walk... More

When visiting the park, don't miss stopping in at this lovely gift shop. It is full of unique pieces many done by local artists. The jewelry, pottery, and art are original and very reasonably priced. More

We took the hike around the rim of a volcano at the national park on the Big Island 2 weeks ago. It was a great hike. It was about 4 miles in length but if you go counter clockwise, the way they recommend, it is a lot easier. Going earlier in the day when it is not so hot is... More
