About Hilo

Ships dock at the pier in Hilo Bay with no tendering, but the pier sits in an industrial area away from town and the walk to downtown is not scenic. A free cruise shuttle typically runs to the downtown and farmers market area on port days, usually through late morning, so check the schedule with the ship. Hilo is the green, rainy side of the Big Island.

Most visitors take a tour to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where some areas and roads close at times, so check the park before you go, or spend the day at Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, Liliuokalani Gardens and the farmers market.
