North Island Jungle Adventure - Clockwise

Hilo - The tour kicks off in Hilo Town. Despite its small size, Hilo offers a wealth of attractions and activities.

King Kamehameha Statue - The journey starts at the King Kamehameha Statue in Hilo. Discover the intriguing history of this 14-foot bronze statue of Hawaii’s first king and how it found its place in Hilo.

Coconut Island - Coconut Island is a charming beach park in Hilo, accessible via a small bridge.

This island, also known as Moku Ola, translates to ‘healing island’ or ‘island of life’, and was once home to an ancient temple dedicated to healing.

Legend suggests that swimming around the island three times could cure any ailments or negative feelings.

Liliʻuokalani Gardens - Liliuokalani Gardens is a highlight of Hilo Town. This park is recognized as the largest edo-style garden outside of Japan! In this tranquil park, you’ll find stunning red bridges over Koi ponds, statues, pagodas, and stone lanterns lining the paths.

Rainbow Falls - Just a short drive from Downtown Hilo lies Rainbow Falls.

On sunny days, rainbows appear amidst the 80-foot falls, creating enchanting views.

The wide waterfall, nearly 100 feet across, cascades over a natural lava cave into the river below.

Boiling Pots - A few minutes away, you’ll discover Boiling Pots, a series of overflowing waterfalls resembling boiling pots of water after rainfall.

Kaumana Caves Park - Kaumana Caves is an extensive cave that is part of a 25-mile-long lava tube formed by the Mauna Loa lava flow of 1880.

The publicly accessible section of the cave extends about 2 miles and quickly becomes pitch black upon entry.

Naha Stone - Stop in front of the Hilo Public Library to view the Naha Stone on the grass outside.

In ancient times, the Naha Stone was believed to possess spiritual powers, and whoever could move or overturn this 5,000-pound rock would be granted the power to unite the islands.

Legend has it that at the age of 30, Kamehameha successfully overturned the stone. He later united the Hawaiian islands and became its first king.

Onomea Bay Trail - Onomea Trail is an easy hike along a stunning section of coastline with 180-degree views of Onomea Bay.

The trail to the bay is short, less than a mile roundtrip, but the photo opportunities alone make it worthwhile!

You can also take a fork in the trail to explore Onomea stream where it meets the ocean.

Akaka Falls State Park - Arguably one of the most renowned waterfalls on the Big Island, you can enjoy a half-mile walk on a paved path through a lush rainforest filled with wild orchids, bamboo groves, and draping ferns to catch a glimpse of this iconic natural wonder.

Laupahoehoe Train Museum - On this tour, you’ll learn all about the history of sugarcane in Hawai’i.

This industry once thrived on the islands, and railways were a crucial mode of transportation for this essential export.

This museum celebrates the history of the Hamakua Coast and the railroads that connected the Big Island’s sugarcane industry to the rest of Hawai’i and the world.

Waipi’o Valley - Waipi’o Valley is one of the most beautiful and storied valleys in Hawai’i. According to legends, the gods resided in Waipi’o in ancient times.

The sacred valley was also the royal center for many ancient rulers on the Big Island and was the childhood home of Kamehameha the Great.

Tex Drive-In - A delightful treat awaits! As you leave Honoka’a, you’ll be guided to TEX Drive In – a local spot offering hearty plate lunches to keep you energized for the rest of your journey.

Waimea - Waimea Town is an artistic farm town known for its charming bed and breakfasts and cowboy history.

Waimea also boasts numerous excellent restaurants, a theatre, art exhibits, and historic ranches.

Anna Ranch Heritage Center - The Anna Ranch is a national historic site that reflects the Big Island’s plantation days. The white, wooden walls hold many stories; it has been in the same ranching family for five generations and was home to Anna Lindsey Perry-Fiske, known as the first lady of ranching.

Parker Ranch - Here, you’ll find two historic houses built in the 1800s. These houses serve as the Parker Ranch headquarters.

Explore the grounds and historic homes on one of their self-guided tours.

It’s a wonderful way to experience what life was like on this iconic ranch over the years.

Maunakea Visitor Information Station - While Mount Everest’s summit is higher above sea level than any other mountain, Mauna Kea is the tallest when measured from its base on the ocean floor to its summit.

Astronomers from around the globe explore the universe from its peak, and Hawaiians have many ancient spiritual connections to this special site.

For visitors, it is one of the clearest places on Earth for stargazing and offers a unique opportunity to experience the polar tundra in Hawai’i.

Hilo - After visiting Mauna Kea, you’ll be guided back to Hilo. If staying in Hilo, it’s recommended to check out the app for suggestions on other attractions in Hilo Town.
