Hilo Travel Tips
Hilo travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Not much going on here, but well worth a trip and a long drive around this quaint and subdued Hawaiian island. If anything, be sure to go to Volcanoes National Park for some great hiking and amazing sights of lava flows and semi-dormant volcanoes.  J.R. S.
  • Hilto Town USED to be sooo cute. With little mom and pop shops. Now it's overrun by big corporations and lots of haoles. Its unfortunate because what used to be a wonderfully, small community is now going to become a tourist trap!  Rei B.
  • In end of Sept or very beginning of Oct, Hilo has an outdoors music festival, mix of regea, hip hop and Hawaiin music.  Verity M.
