Hilo is on the rainy side of the Big Island, in a tropical rain forest, so come expecting rain at least part of the time. We were fortunate to have sun during our 2 days, with evening rains. Shops close early but good restaurant options.

If you're looking for a beautiful place that is more like old Hawaiian style Hawaii, Hilo is the place! So many mom and pop shops and places to eat. Lots of good local places to eat and try. A little wet (rainy) and humid (because it's still sunny)!

The Banyan drive was awesome. Small convenient place to visit Volcanic National Park. Local snorkeling sites are not that great. Food options are limited. Only Volcano enthusiasts should visit Big Island, otherwise, Kauai, Maui or Oahu are better.
