Activities/Attractions: Hilo is an old sugar town and houses Hawaii’s largest historic core of buildings. Dating back to the turn of the century, the buildings showcase Hawaii’s unique architecture, with a splash of western, Art Deco and Renaissance Revival influences. Hilo flows down the lower slopes of Mauna Kea mountain of the world-famous astronomical observatories of seven major nations. The town straddles a tranquil river with waterfalls and lush vegetation. Don’t let the fact that it is the “rainiest city in the United States” distract you. Most rainfall is in the evening. When the sun is shining, Hilo is a lush, tropical oasis.
Although Hilo is Hawaii’s second largest city (ranked second in size and population to Honolulu), it is a community. It has an old-fashioned comfortable feel. Hilo has been described by some as “Honolulu before the jets came in.” It is a great place to learn about old Hawaii and the environmental and cultural forces that shaped it.
We are just 30 minutes away from Akaka Falls and 45 minutes away from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the site of the world's most active volcano. Come to the island where the orchids grow and the lava flows. A wealth of visitor information is available from you friendly hosts, Charlotte and John.
