There's more to the Big Island of Hawaii than the Kona Coast. Hilo and the Hamakua Coast are amazingly beautiful with great communities, bike paths, beaches and waterfalls. We talk about some of our favorite places in Hilo and chat, just a bit, about Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (we have an episode dedicated to the NP). Give a listen and see what makes Hilo and Hawaii's eastern shore so wonderful to explore.

If you want to really get into the city of Hilo itself, we do have a pretty comprehensive guide to visiting the rainiest city in the USA. Check out our Hilo guide, our complete Big Island Itinerary and favorite unique natural sites to visit over on our blog!
