Hilo Private Tours

Hilo tours, Hilo private tours, personal tours, ToursByLocals
Aloha and welcome to the Big Island of Hawaii! Your guide is proud to live in one of the most strikingly beautiful landscapes in the world, and is eager to show you the out-of-the-way places that make his home unique. Take a private Hilo tour and discover why so many travelers to Hawaii keep coming back for more.

Hilo town is set amidst waterfalls, fertile rainforests and vivid gardens, in contrast to the stark drama of nearby Volcanoes National Park. If you're in town on a Wednesday or Saturday, your guide will recommend visiting the Hilo Farmer's Market, where you can sample papayas, liliko'i, breadfruit, mangoes and star fruit, among other local delicacies. In Volcanoes National Park you'll be able to see the Kilauea volcano, one of the most active volcanoes on earth, and a sacred place for Native Hawaiians.

Your guide can also recommend great beaches, restaurants and hiking trails on the island, and is happy to share his knowledge with you on your private Hilo tour.
