Parks & Nature

The volcano just before dawn is amazing - but the BEST volcano viewing by far is after 9pm. The most AMAZING dark sky with more stars than you'll see almost anywhere so close to a major city. A MUST see. Take a small flashlight - the 1 mile walk from Devastation Trail is easy.

Shopping

This mall is deceivingly large. Enter through any of the main stores and it winds around to just about everything you need including a theater. Perfect for weathering a storm or the heat.

Beach/Ocean access

No real 'beaches' on the Hilo side, but this local favorite is great for cooling off and floating around. Snorkeling is ok here too, with sea turtles using the lagoon for resting during low tide. Recommend visiting at high tide for best swimming.
