Hilo
is a good base for exploring nearby Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii
Tropical Botanical Garden, and waterfalls along the Hamakua Coast just north
of town.
Until recently, downtown Hilo was virtually a ghost town of empty old
buildings, but a decade of quiet restoration by the Hilo Main Street Program
is having an impact. Today this county seat is worth a visit even if
you do no more than stroll the historic district. |
