Hilo Sights



Lili'uokalani Gardens in Hilo



Banyan Drive in Hilo. Each Banyan Tree is named for a celebrity who planted it.

Koi pond at the Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, as seen from our lanai. The Hilo Hawaiian appears to be the nicest hotel in Hilo, and seems to have good specials. We'd recommend it again.

Snow on top of Mauna Kea, as seen from Hilo. You can even see the observatories on top.

Rainbow Falls in Hilo. Best time to see the rainbow seems to be after 9:30 am.

Flowers at the Hawai Tropical Botanical Garden.

Onomea Falls at the Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden. The Botanical Garden is definitely worth a visit if you like to see exotic plants and waterfalls.
