Our quaint town has the most "Old Hawaii" feel than any other city in the state.

Lots to see here. - Sign up for group tours (Mauna Kea Observatory, Waipio Valley, Lava Hiking, Kilauea Volcano, Hot Ponds, Ziplines). We are about 1.5mile from hotel row on Hilo Bay, so most tour companies WILL usually drop off guests after the tours. - Take the FREE local buses to Kailua-Kona , resorts, and hotels on the west side.
