Hawaii conjures up images of gently swaying palms, shimmering turquoise waters and sands beaches, and it doesn’t disappoint. Hilo offers a plethora of things to see and do, from hiking up craggy volcanic peaks and across the rocky moonscapes of ancient lava flows to learning the ancient sport of “wave sliding” (surfing) and snorkeling or diving with the myriad of marine life on the multi-coloured reefs. There are plenty of sacred Hawaiian sites and ancient missionary churches to explore, lush, fauna and flora-filled national parks to discover, and beautiful beaches to enjoy. Hawaii Island beaches are, without a doubt, the sparkling jewels in the Pacific crown.
