Did you know that it’s possible to send mail from a volcano? It’s true. On Hawaii’s Big Island, there’s a  village called Volcano and it’s located along the caldera of Kilauea Volcano just a mile or so from the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

One fun vacation idea is to send a letter or postcard from the Volcano Post Office to your friends and family. I know this may sound odd, but I’ve even mailed myself a postcard from Volcano as a souvenir. Stop in during the post office business hours and politely ask the staff to hand cancel your letter or postcard with the Volcano stamp. Your friends and family will be impressed to receive your thoughtful post from a volcano.

See this link for this post office’s business hours. Volcano Post Office is located at 19-4030 Old Volcano Highway, Volcano, HI.
