Many of the activities that are available are daytime, and focus on the ocean.
Surf culture is big and
other ocean fun can be found at Richardson's Ocean Park at the end of Kalanianaole (Highway 19). This is a popular spot for family cookouts, and has occasional waves. Snorkeling is a popular activity here.
Four Mile is a popular swimming spot, also located on Kalanianaole. Though there is no 'beach', it is rather like a large salt water swimming pool, with a sandy bottom, protected from the ocean by a reef. The water is colder, a mix of the ocean and fresh water springs.
Helicopter touring is popular, with flights over
macadamia nut plantations to the lava flows at
Kilauea.
Kaumana caves are fun to explore and free. Pacific Tsunami Museum is a great place to learn about the tidal waves that have destroyed Hilo several times.
Hilo Art Museum is the island's only general art museum. It is in the historic Hilo Iron Works building with the best view of Hilo Bay. Enjoy breathtaking views Hilo Bay, Coconut Island, and 13,700 foot high Mauna Kea.
