Hilo is on the rainy side of the Big Island, in a tropical rain forest, so come expecting rain at least part of the time. We were fortunate to have sun during our 2 days, with evening rains. Shops close early but good restaurant options.

Volcano national park is a must see. If you enjoy hiking and sight seeing this is the side of the island for you.

If you're looking for a beautiful place that is more like old Hawaiian style Hawaii, Hilo is the place! So many mom and pop shops and places to eat. Lots of good local places to eat and try. A little wet (rainy) and humid (because it's still sunny)!

The Banyan drive was awesome. Small convenient place to visit Volcanic National Park. Local snorkeling sites are not that great. Food options are limited. Only Volcano enthusiasts should visit Big Island, otherwise, Kauai, Maui or Oahu are better.

Not like the hustle and hustle of Hawaii's capitol (Honolulu). But that what is unique about Hawaii... choices. Very friendly place to visit and explore nearby.
"We were so lucky to find this lovely place while the tsunami alert was in place. The people were so welcoming and helpful.
The setting is delightful and the sound of the birds is so peaceful. "
"Absolutely superb. Randy thought of everything to make this a quiet, friendly, comfortable place to stay. A quiet retreat. It put a dent in our tourist activities, though, because we didn’t want to leave! It’s good to do some grocery shopping before you get there, as there are minimal food options in the immediate area."
"This has been one of the most special places I’ve ever been to. The sounds of the forest at night are surreal and can touch your soul. I’ve only spent one night at the cabin but I will never forget my time here.
The cabins are super cute, clean, and comfortable. The short path to the lodge with bathrooms is marked by some torches on the ground at night. The sky cleared up in the middle of the night so I could enjoy the stars while walking to the lodge. AMAZING."
"Stunning views of the Pacific Ocean from this gorgeous property! The entire staff is friendly and welcoming! My husband and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay!"
"This is a great place. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. The place was clean and cleaned daily.
My only regret is that I didn’t stay longer. I switched sides of the Big Island and probably didn’t need to.
Would definitely recommend. "
"We stayed here for almost two weeks. Kelly was amazing. She was always whipping up different types of breakfasts. She was so cute and so talkative.
Her food was really good. (If you are like me however, ask for pancakes or french toast or crepes) she loves to cook Mexican style breakfast but it didn’t always sit right with me. Then I told her about and she said, “well you should have told me earlier!” We both laughed. And it was excellent there after.
Her place is very cozy and calm.
I loved how clean everything was and I love that she had the filtered water. I filled my water bottle with it everyday. She had lots of treats and ice creams for us. All included of course!
She was so sweet, I hope to someday go back and bring my adult children. :)
Thank you Kelly! Staying with you made the trip even better!
We love you “Auntie!” Love Kyle and Stef "
"We had a little hiccup with the email providing the check-in info, but once we called it was quickly resolved. The room has been redecorated nicely, with a super comfy bed and cold A/C. Right next to the farmers market, and a short walk to downtown Hilo.
Would definitely stay again."
"We loved our stay at Kehena house! We were greeted by Stephen when we arrived and given a quick tour. They were hosting a Pride potluck that day and he kindly invited us to come eat and join in as guests of the house. Everyone we met was friendly and we felt safe to be ourselves. In the room, there was a list of unique weekly activities and opportunities near by, which made the experience feel even more welcoming.
The property is *amazing*. Might as well be a mini botanical gardens between the flowers, fawna, and the fruit trees. You can tell its cared for, but not obsessively manicured, a natural look. The inside of the house looks better than the pictures, perfectly clean. Thoughtful touches as well. I selected the room that is more exposed to the outside night noises, and ear plugs were provided (i didnt need them, I enjoyed the experience). There is a house cat, but she minds to herself and was friendly when approached. I enjoyed the serenity of the outdoor shower one morning. It was so peaceful, great water pressure too. The bathtub available is deep and looked great for soaking tired traveler muscles, but I didnt use it.
We did walk down to the beach. There is no specific easy path down, but there are some trails and it wasnt too difficult. The water was way too rough to get in when we visited, but we got some great pics.
I plan to stay here again next time I visit Hawaii. "
"Our family of three stayed in one of the private rooms. We felt comfortable and relaxed there. There were plenty of bathrooms to choose from. Very nice hostel. "
"We had a wonderful stay at the Volcano Forest Inn. The large room, access to the full kitchen/common area, the quiet location surrounded by the rainforest, and the private deck allowed us to enjoy a relaxing visit. The inn has a great location just outside the national park. We were able to stop at several places before they became busy. There was a good amount of information on the area and a tv with current info on the volcano. The rooms are well maintained and comfortable. Overall, it was a great visit that I strongly recommend. "
"What a great place! Gorgeous view every day you stepped outside, great bedroom space with comfortable beds, and a spacious bathroom. Erich and Suzy were super kind and helpful with recommendations for things to do and places to go. The pool was fantastic and breakfast was delicious. Definitely a place that warrants a return visit.
