Wonderful district, centrally located from major attraction on the Hilo side. This is a safe and great location to stay and venture out to see all that this side of the island has to offer. Amazing waterfalls, Hawaii Volcano National Park, Beach Parks, Botanical Gardens, Black and Green Sand Beaches, Historic sites, Imi Loa Center, etc. You will need a full week (at the very least) to see, experience and enjoy all that Hilo has to offer.
