Top-Rated Hilo Shore Excursions

Hilo’s cruise pier is in the harbor on the island’s wet, green east side, a short ride from the old downtown and its farmers market. Rainbow Falls is a few minutes away, ʻAkaka Falls is up the coast, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, with its craters and steaming vents, is under an hour by road.
