City Description
The laid-back city of Hilo, Hawaii, is built around crescent-shaped Hilo Bay on
the coast of the Big Island. The largest city on the island, Hilo is near major
attractions such as the Panaewa Rainforest Zoo, the Hawaii Tropical Botanical
Garden, and the Lyman Museum. Due to its size, the Big Island enjoys gentle seas
all year on the leeward side, and of course there are many beautiful beaches.
The region surrounding Hilo is blessed with dramatic waterfalls, fertile
rainforests and blooming gardens. Downtown Hilo waterfront is vibrant, home to
great museums, art galleries, unique shops and perennial favorites like the Hilo
Farmers Market. Hilo's newest world-class attraction, the Imiloa astronomy
Center, is housed beneath three striking titanium cones representing the three
largest mountains on Hawaii Island. Here you can explore and enjoy many natural
wonders including Rainbow Falls and Boiling Pots in Wailuku River State Park,
beautiful parks, as well as many botanical gardens and orchid farms.
