Puka Hale: A Rainforest Eco Hut in a Volcanic Crater

Puka Hale: A Rainforest Eco Hut in a Volcanic Crater

The Puka Hale (crater hut) is located at the farthest corner of the property and is ideal for those who like privacy. As an eco-community, we are always trying to reuse and recycle with our projects and this is one of our custom creations. In fact, this secluded shelter offers an authentic experience for adventurous travelers seeking ecofeminist community hawaii crater lodging.

To make it an eco-friendly lodging creation, we used local bamboo and Strawberry Guava wood to create a rustic eco-shack. Except for the screws and the roof, everything is reused or locally sourced. Consequently, the building blends naturally into the surrounding rainforest foliage.

When we describe Puka Hale as unique, we mean unique. This jungle shack is one of the world's only eco-community lodgings located right at the bottom of our volcanic crater. Yes, it's true! We have a dormant volcanic crater right on the property! However, it has not been active for at least 250 years!

Puka Hale is the most private spot on the property, making it ideal for couples. In addition, the serene crater acoustics create an unforgettable retreat.

Warning! Not for the Faint-Hearted!

This is the most remote lodging on the property so it is not for those who are physically challenged in any way as it requires a 100-foot descent on a winding path into the crater. The hut itself is located at the far side of the crater so we only recommend reserving it if you are a fit adult. Furthermore, navigating the rainforest trail at night requires a reliable flashlight.

You will either love it for its solitude and uniqueness or hate it because it's so far away from the eco-toilet and the rest of the community! The choice is yours. Therefore, guests must embrace true rustic eco-living when choosing this crater sanctuary.
