Top 6 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Hilo, Hawaii (HI)

January 20, 2022 Velvet Champine

The landscape of Hilo, on the Big Island of Hawaii, is diverse. Beaches of black, gray, brown and white sand give way to mountains and dramatic waterfalls. Hilo's Pana'ewa Rainforest Zoo is the only U.S. zoo in a tropical rainforest. A day trip away are snow-capped Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, with observatories near 11,000 feet on both mountains, and Kilauea Caldera, an active volcano. Back in town are a farmer's market, restaurants, shopping and banyan trees planted by celebrities and politicians.

Pepeekeo Scenic Drive

Reviewed By pfefmeister - San Francisco, United States

When headed north from Hilo, make sue you take this 4 mile detour through lush jungle, across ancient one lane bridges, and a trip back in time. Drive slow and soak up old Hawaii. The botanical Gardens were closed when we passed through - probably due to COVID. Still, lush, dripping vegetation was Uber scenic on a rainy day. Well worth it and clearly marked off of Highway 19.

Wasabi tours included this on my tour. I was interested in hearing Dreu tell the story from Hawaiian culture. So glad it's being preserved.
