Volcano Village is a small artists' community of roughly 2000 residents located just outside of Volcanoes National Park. At 3000 to 4000 ft. altitude the town of Volcano and most of the Park enjoy a cooler climate. The village is situated on a small loop that diverts away from the highway, secluding it from highway noise and traffic. Local business includes small shops, a grocery/gas station, restaurants and an internet cafe. Kilauea Lodge is in the heart of Volcano Village and the small grocery and stores are within easy walking distance from the Lodge property.
