Experience the charm of old Hawaiʻi on a relaxing 2-hour afternoon cruise along Hilo’s breathtaking coastline. As you drift past sea cliffs, hidden coves, and cascading waterfalls, your guide brings the region’s history to life with stories of ancient Hawaiian villages, cultural landmarks, and the rise of Hilo’s sugar plantation era. You’ll see remnants of early 1900s sugar mills and learn about the hardworking communities that once flourished along the Hamakua Coast, all while surrounded by lush tropical scenery and the tranquil beauty of East Hawaiʻi.
Throughout the journey, enjoy panoramic views of Mauna Kea, the tallest mountain in the world from base to summit, and Mauna Loa, Earth’s largest active volcano. The calm waters of Hilo Bay offer the perfect vantage point for spotting marine life, including playful spinner and bottlenose dolphins that often leap beside the boat. With light refreshments, a friendly expert crew, and rich Hawaiian storytelling, this cruise is the perfect blend of natural wonder, cultural depth, and peaceful sightseeing—an unforgettable way to experience the spirit and scenery of old Hawaiʻi.
