Hilo Listings
Hilo city of water and fire ! The city of Hilo is located on
the eastern side of the island of Hawaii aka The Big Island. It is home the the
university of Hawaii campus on the Big Island, and Hilo International Airport.
Hilo has the dubious distinction of having the largest raindrops ever recorded
on earth, nearly the size of a baseball.
Surrounding the city are some of the most amazing landcsapes
ever. High volcanic mountians covered in lush green rainforrest,
rolling fruit and macadamia farms, and of course the coastline where blacksand
beaches are scattered amongst the surf pounded cliffs. Because of the abundant
volcanic activity in the area there are many hotsprings, and even some large
"hot ponds" where the sea and volcanos meet.
Hilo is a great base for exploring Pele's playground.
Volcanoes National Park is just a short drive from town. The rangers at the park
give some of the best tours of the lavafields, since they are constantly
monitoring the activity of the lava flows the can get you closer, more safely
than just about any other tour.
Where backpackers call home while exploring the Big Island of Hawaii.
Located in the heart of historic downtown Hilo, within an easy
walk to: bus terminal, farmers market, movie theaters, restaurants, shops,
museums, library, post office & beautiful Hilo Bay. A beautifully restored
1913 hotel with European charm and comforts yet provides guests with modern
amenities
Its old grandeur remains: The original, grand wooden staircase
opens to an airy common area with wood wainscoting and 13-foot ceilings. The
building, one of the oldest surviving wooden structures on the island, has
plenty of modern charm, too. Bath and shower rooms are new, as is a
kitchen/break room. There is high-speed Internet access and cable television, an
outside patio garden area, free coffee and tea, a billiard table, storage
lockers, free local phone calls and more.
Cool, comfortable Hilo Bay Hostel is ideally located to visit
nearby tropical rainforests, hike to scenic waterfalls, or explore Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park, where Kilauea Volcano (sometimes referred to as "the
drive-in volcano" for its accessibility in terms of viewing the lava flow) has
been erupting continuously since 1983.
