Hilo Cruise Ship Terminal
Its great for a quick inexpensive bite.
Hilo cruise ship terminal. Neither of Honolulus cruise. This port is also used by cargo and container ships so its best to clear out and see what the rest of the island has going on. The gangway ramp is 2 miles from town center.
Hilo Cruise Port Facilities. Rainbow Falls alone is not worth wasting your time to go see. This is a simple video of the actual dock where Cruise Ships stop when in Hilo Hawaii.
These tour is only for Hilo Cruise Ship passengers. Liliuokalani Gardens Banyon Drive Rainbow Falls Boiling Pots. Pick up will be at the cruise ship dock.
If it is part of a wider tour then it is an ok stop. The bubbling basalt-lava rock pools known as the Boiling Pots are nearby. When cruise ships are in however helpful volunteers from the Hilo Information Center are onsite on with maps.
I went on a day trip from Honolulu to Hilo. Akaka Falls State Park short loop trail that also includes Kahuna Falls 4. While the merchants love this choice and you can find things to buy you wont see on the mainland it is still just a big shopping mall and not at all quaint like the actual town of Hilo which has survived mostly two tsunamis.
Arnotts Adventures provides three highly rated tours to the cruise industry. This is a land of verdant rain forests bisected by sparkling falls. Passengers are usually greeted by locals performing live traditional music and dancing.
