Hilo Holiday Packages

Hilo Holiday Packages

A visit to Hilo invites—nay, necessitates—the use of your best camera. With more rainfall than any other American region, the landscape of Hilo is a technicolour patchwork of flourishing rainforests, lush gardens and vibrant rainbows. But why stay behind the lens when you can embed yourself in some of the most beautiful backdrops on Hawaii’s Big Island? The serene waterfalls of Akaka Falls State Park are begging to be explored, and the Kazumura Caves provide a fascinating look into local lava tubes. No matter how you spend your Hilo holiday, Hawaii will welcome you with her “Aloha spirit” and enchant you with charm.

Things to Do in Hilo, HI

Not surprisingly, most of the best things to do in Hilo are found outdoors. Sure, you can have a good holiday if you visit local museums and hop from restaurant to restaurant. But the most meaningful memories you create in Hawaii will happen as you meander through the Liliuokalani Gardens or go zip lining past a waterfall. Spend your morning on a rare black sand beach, then cool off in the sea.

Putting your name on a Hilo car rentalOpens in a new window is definitely a good idea. Not only can you get to and from your favourite attractions on your own schedule, but the scenic drives on the east side of the Big Island are some of the best things to do on holiday here. Drive to the Mauna Loa Observatory for panoramic views, or take your vehicle up the Pepeekeo Scenic Drive and visit the botanic gardens.

Shopping, Dining & Nightlife

With the money you save on your Hilo holiday by booking with Wotif, you may just find a few dollars burning a hole in your pocket. Make your way to Kamehameha Avenue to explore the shops in Hilo as you take in views of neighbouring Hilo Bay. Grab fresh food and unique wares at the Hilo Farmers Market, and find a new piece of jewellery for your wardrobe at a local art gallery.

Once you’ve built up an appetite carrying around your shopping bags, dive into a traditional Hawaiian meal of spam and rice, or try out one of Hilo’s eateries serving up Japanese fare. Family establishments dot the landscape here, so go ahead and support a local business while you grub!

Hilo isn’t a hot spot for nightlife, but despite its low-key nature, you can still find something to do after sunset. Stake your claim on a seat at a waterfront lounge, or partake in some karaoke with your travel mates.
