Volcano House
Volcano, Hawaii
There are literally dozens of places offering helicopter views of the Big Island's active volcanoes, but if you'd rather see these spectacular natural features from the ground, Volcano House is an ideal place to head. Located within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this recently restored, historic hotel offers 33 guest rooms, 10 refurbished yet sparse camper cabins, and a dining room, snack bar, lounge, and obligatory gift shop. While you can find all those things — and more — at other resorts throughout the islands, this spot offers something those can't: amazing views of the Kilauea caldera and Halema'uma'u crater.
