Best Hilo Activities & Tours
The Hilo side of the island is a huge area but in the central coastal area is a historic town with a few hotels for visitors looking for something a little different. This town is closer to the volcano making trips to the park a little shorter than those starting on the Kona coast. This area gets an abundance of rain which sustains a tropical forest that is full of amazing waterfalls. Taking a helicopter trip from here will give you the most time over Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
