Today I’m taking you along on an epic full-day adventure in Hilo, Hawaii — and this turned out to be one of the most well rounded excursions I’ve done while cruising the Hawaiian Islands! 🌈🌺 In just one day, I explored everything from waterfalls and volcanoes to lava tubes, black sand beaches, sea turtles, and more. Hilo is packed with natural beauty, and I couldn’t believe how much I was able to experience in a single trip! Here’s where we stopped: 🏝 Richardson Ocean Park - gorgeous black sand beach not far from the port in Hilo 🐢 Sea turtles relaxing right on the shore 🌈 Rainbow Falls — the perfect way to start the morning 🥥 Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Farm — delicious snacks + tropical vibes 🌋 Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park — jaw-dropping crater views 🔥 Nāhuku (Thurston) Lava Tube — walking inside the volcano …plus a few more scenic surprises along the way!
