Overview

The Big Island has such unique topography, from craggy volcanic landscapes to lush tropical forests.
For a different perspective, viewing the area around Hilo from a boat will give you a new appreciation of this special island.

On a clear day, Mauna Kea, the largest volcano in the world, is the backdrop of spectacular ocean entry waterfalls.
Look to the south to see the dramatic changes brought about by the recent eruption of the worlds most active volcano, Kilauea.

You'll want to focus your attention on the water too.
Seabirds, flying fish, Spinner and Bottle-nosed dolphins displaying their acrobatic spins alongside the boat are all possibilities today. And keep an eye out for turtles and manta rays.

Cruising the scenic Hamakua coast, your knowledgeable captain will relate many interesting facts and stories about Hilo.
The Hamakua coast was known in the 1900s for its sugar plantations, the remains of which are still visible today.

You'll see the Papaikou sugar mill that resides on a beautiful black sand beach, better known today by surfers as a great place to catch a wave. You'll learn about the towns 100+ year colonial history and hear the influence of missionaries, businessmen and plantation workers who have all played a role in the making of present day Hilo.

As the tour comes to a close on the eastern side of the island and the sun begins to dip behind 14,000 foot Mauna Kea, you'll be treated to an early "sunset" as a palette of orange, pink and purple color the late afternoon sky.
