Waterfalls, Volcanoes, Black Sand Beaches… Hilo Has EVERYTHING!

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!
