Pack a light, waterproof jacket for hiking or exploring the tropical rainforests of Hilo and the Hamakua Coast and warmer clothes if you plan to visit the uplands of Waimea and the higher elevations of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

Also bring plenty of water to stay hydrated.How do I see the top sites in my allotted time frame? If you have at least five days we suggest breaking your “drive days” into three separate days with beach days or local sightseeing days in between. For example: Drive Day 1 – make Volcano National Park your destination by way of hwy 11 to the south & stop at all the additional attractions (coffee farms, shops, bakeries, black sand beach, etc) on your way there or on the way back. Drive Day 2 – make Hilo your destination by way of hwy 19 to the north & stop at all the additional attractions (Waimea, Waipio Overlook, Akaka Falls, Botanical Gardens, etc) on your way there and take Saddle Rd. home if you plan on Mauna Kea visitor center by nightfall. Drive Day 3 – make Pololu Valley Lookout your destination by way of hwy 270 up north. Check out attractions along the way & Hawi Artist Village. Return along hwy 250 for elevated views of the beautiful west coast. This is the shortest of the 3 drive days and a nice way to spend your last day to make the most of time between check-out and a late flight.
