Ironyak, good morning. Kalopa park is very nice this time of year for what you mentioned. Yes the drive is a bit far but it can be worth it. We enjoy driving up past volcano to maunaloa road, they have a very nice and clean park in there called bird park. Hiking trails, plenty of beautiful birds, no mosquitoes, pavilions, benches,and bathrooms. The drive is not as long and there is a few other nearby things to do like golf and even a winery close. Whateva you decide and wheneva, please count me in.
