Why to visit Hilo

Hilo is the largest city in Hawaii County, perched cosily above the rumbling waters of Hilo Bay at the foothills of Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea. Hilo is occasionally subjected to lava flows due to its location at the base of both an active and dormant volcano.

Mother Nature has lavished spectacular waterfalls, heavily covered rainforests, and lush gardens on the Kohala Coast's opposite side in Hilo, making it a fantastic weekend vacation in Hawaii. The Liliuokalani Gardens, which cover 30 acres and include stunning ponds, pagodas, and rock gardens, are a must-see.

Rainbow Falls and Peepee Falls are two must-see attractions of Wailuku River State Park. Panaewa Rainforest Zoo has a wide variety of exotic flora and fauna. Visit the museums and galleries in Downtown Hilo for a cultural tour. The Merrie Monarch Festival, which takes place every year after Easter, is a week-long event that attracts both tourists and locals.

The climate of Hilo is tropical, with year-round temperatures ranging from 23 to 29 degrees Celsius. Hilo has a very rainy climate, with rain falling on approximately 236 days per year.

Special Tip

The Merrie Monarch Festival is the perfect time to visit this location. Unless you arrange ahead of time, you won't be able to find a room or a rental car for the celebration (which takes place every year on Easter Sunday). And if you're looking for a good place to eat seafood, Suisan Fish Market is the place to go!
