About

Aloha, and e komo mai!

This web site is all about Hilo, Hawai’i.

Hawai’i, the island, is also known as the Big Island because we are! All the other islands of the State of Hawai’i will fit on the Big Island with room to spare. Lots of it.

Most visitors know about Kona on our island’s west side (Leeward Side) because that is where almost all the resorts, condos, golf courses, white sandy beaches, and sunshine are, not to mention the airport with all the connections to the mainland.

But there is another Hawai’i you should get to know on your next visit. If you are planning your first visit to Hawai’i, you should try staying among the friendly folks of old Hawai’i in Hilo for at least part of your stay. You won’t regret it. Look through the pages of this web site and find things to do and places to stay on The East Side of Paradise.
