General presentation

Hilo et côte de Hamakua

Cascades, tropical gardens and green cliffs on the wet coast.

To understand what Hilo and Hamakua coast are, you have to look at Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls and Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. These places give us a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline, forests and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

See all

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.
